How to Make Oreo Cookies & Cream Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

• 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 24 Oreos, crushed)
• 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (70g)
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (315g)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (226g)
• 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar (350g)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream (240g)
• 3/4 cup whole milk (180ml)
• 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies
• 2 cups unsalted butter, softened (452g)
• 5 cups powdered sugar (600g)
• 2 tbsp heavy cream
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies for frosting
• Whole Oreo cookies for topping
• Chocolate kisses or chocolate dollops for topping
• Extra cookie crumbs for topping

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan or two 8-inch cake pans. Mix the Oreo cookie crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into the bottom of the pan to create a thick chocolate cookie crust. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy and light. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla. Stir in sour cream and milk until smooth. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, then fold in the crushed Oreo cookies. Pour the batter over the crust and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting. For the frosting, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream until fluffy. Fold in crushed Oreo cookies for that classic cookies & cream texture. Frost the cake generously and create bakery-style swirls around the edges using a piping tip. Decorate with whole Oreos, chocolate dollops, and extra cookie crumbs for the ultimate Oreo dessert finish. Chill for 20 minutes before slicing for clean, bakery-style layers.
