Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan.

- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl.
- In mason jars or dessert cups, layer the crumbled cake, blue frosting, and whipped cream if using.
- Repeat layers until jars are filled, finishing with a layer of blue frosting and a sprinkle of extra cookie crumbs on top.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
