- 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
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients alternately with milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the crushed cookies, leaving some larger pieces for texture.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add whipped cream and mix until fluffy.
- Frost the cooled cakes with the cream cheese frosting, then top with more crushed cookies for decoration.
- Slice and serve!
Notes
- You can replace part of the milk with heavy cream for a richer texture.
- For a vegan version, swap dairy ingredients for non-dairy alternatives (like almond milk and vegan butter).
- To make cupcakes, divide the batter into cupcake liners and bake for 15-18 minutes.
- The cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
