Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 ½ cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (for frosting)
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1 cup whipped cream (for frosting)
  • Additional crushed cookies (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients alternately with milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the crushed cookies, leaving some larger pieces for texture.
  8. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add whipped cream and mix until fluffy.
  12. Frost the cooled cakes with the cream cheese frosting, then top with more crushed cookies for decoration.
  13. Slice and serve!

Notes

  1. You can replace part of the milk with heavy cream for a richer texture.
  2. For a vegan version, swap dairy ingredients for non-dairy alternatives (like almond milk and vegan butter).
  3. To make cupcakes, divide the batter into cupcake liners and bake for 15-18 minutes.
  4. The cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
