Description
A delicious and indulgent Cookies and Cream Cake that combines rich chocolate flavors with creamy whipped topping and crushed cookies.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 ½ cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
- Additional crushed cookies for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. Fold in the crushed cookies gently.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with more crushed cookies.
- Top with the second cake layer and frost the top and sides with the remaining whipped cream. Garnish with additional crushed cookies.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a layer of chocolate ganache between the cake layers.
- You can also substitute the whipped cream with a store-bought frosting for convenience.
