Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)

For the Buttercream Frosting:

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies

For Garnish:

  • Crushed cookies

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract. On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in the sour cream until combined. Gently fold in the crushed cookies. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  2. Bake the Cake Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Make the Buttercream Frosting In a large bowl, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Increase to high speed and beat for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Fold in the crushed cookies until evenly distributed.
  4. Assemble the Cake Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread an even layer of frosting on top. Repeat with the second and third layers, frosting the sides and top of the cake. Use an offset spatula to smooth the frosting.
  5. Garnish Decorate with whole cookies around the edge of the cake and sprinkle crushed cookies on top for extra flair. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
