Irresistible cookies and cream cake delivers pure dessert magic from classic American bakeries. Creamy frosting and chocolate cookie crumbles create a delightful experience you’ll savor with each delectable slice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar (for frosting)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and preparing two 9-inch round pans with grease and flour coating.
- Combine flour and baking powder in a mixing vessel, ensuring thorough integration of dry components.
- Using an electric mixer, transform butter and sugar into a light, airy texture; incorporate eggs individually, then introduce vanilla essence for enhanced flavor depth.
- Systematically merge dry ingredients into the creamy mixture, periodically introducing milk to maintain silky consistency; gently fold crushed cookies throughout the batter.
- Distribute cake mixture evenly between prepared pans, carefully leveling surfaces with a spatula; position in preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until a inserted toothpick emerges pristine.
- Allow cake layers to cool completely before applying a luxurious frosting crafted from whipped cream cheese and powdered sugar, creating a decadent cookies and cream aesthetic.
Notes
- Customize cookie crumbs by using different flavored sandwich cookies like mint or peanut butter for unique flavor variations.
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature to create a smoother, more evenly mixed batter that results in a softer cake texture.
- Use a food processor to crush cookies uniformly, preventing large chunks that might disrupt the cake’s smooth consistency.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free blend and use gluten-free sandwich cookies to maintain the recipe’s signature taste.
