Cookies N Cream Dream Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies
• 1/4 cup shortening
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 3 – 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans. Make sure to get every nook and cranny so the cake can come out easily.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 (18 1/4 ounce) package of yellow cake mix, 1 cup of sour cream, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, 1/4 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, 4 eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix using an electric mixer for about 3-5 minutes until it’s well blended and smooth.
3. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of crushed Oreo cookies into the batter, being careful not to over mix.
4. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 27-35 minutes, but check with a toothpick around the 27-minute mark to see if it comes out clean.
5. Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Let them cool completely before frosting.
6. For the frosting, cream together 1/4 cup of shortening and 4 ounces of cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 3 cups of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 3 tablespoons of milk, mixing until creamy. If it’s too thick, add more powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
7. Finally, gently stir in 1 cup of crushed Oreo cookies into the frosting, and spread it generously over the cooled cake.
