MIDNIGHT DELIGHT: COOKIES' N CREAM

Cookies and Cream Cake Recipe

Here's how to make a delicious cookies and cream cake:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk.
• Crush chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreo cookies) into small pieces and fold them into the batter.
• Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
• For the frosting, beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until creamy.
• Spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer, then place the second layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
• Garnish with additional crushed cookies, if desired.
• Slice and serve your delicious cookies and cream cake!
