# Ingredients:

→ Cake Batter

01 - 1 box vanilla cake mix
02 - 1 cup sour cream
03 - 3 large eggs
04 - 1/2 cup vegetable oil
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1 cup whole milk
07 - 1 1/2 cups Oreo cookies, crushed
08 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar

→ Frosting

09 - 2 cups heavy cream
10 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
11 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
13 - 1 cup Oreo cookies, crushed
14 - 1/4 cup white chocolate chips, optional (for drizzle)

→ Decoration

15 - Whole Oreo cookies
16 - Extra crushed Oreo cookies

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to ensure easy cake release.
02 - In a large bowl, combine vanilla cake mix, sour cream, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until batter is smooth and thoroughly blended. Gently fold in crushed Oreo cookies and granulated sugar until evenly incorporated.
03 - Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared pans. Smooth tops with a spatula. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.
04 - Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
05 - In a large bowl, beat heavy cream and softened cream cheese together until texture is smooth and light. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in crushed Oreo cookies. Adjust consistency by adding a small amount of cream if necessary.
06 - Set one cake layer on a serving plate. Evenly spread Oreo frosting over the top. Position the second cake layer over the first and generously frost the top and sides of the cake. Smooth surfaces with a spatula.
07 - If desired, melt white chocolate chips and drizzle over the top of the cake for an elegant finish.
08 - Arrange whole Oreo cookies on top for visual appeal. Sprinkle extra crushed Oreos around the cake's perimeter to enhance texture and appearance.
09 - Slice the cake into portions and serve to enjoy the cookies and cream experience.

# Notes:

01 - Allow cake layers to cool fully before frosting to prevent the icing from melting.
