Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 box Chocolate Cake Mix Provides the base flavor and structure for the cake.
  • 3 large Eggs Use room temperature eggs for better emulsion.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Adds richness and flavor; margarine works as a suitable dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Milk Try almond milk or oat milk for a lactose-free version.
  • 1 cup Cookies (e.g., Oreos) Adds texture and flavor to the cake.
For the Frosting
  • 1 cup Frosting (Cream Cheese or Whipped) For a vegan option, consider dairy-free cream cheese.
  • 1/2 cup More Cookies (for Topping) Sprinkle extra cookie pieces on top for added crunch.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, butter, eggs, and milk. Mix until smooth for about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in crushed cookies into the chocolate batter using a spatula, keeping cookie chunks intact.
  3. Pour the batter evenly into prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. Arrange the first layer on a plate, spread frosting on top, place the second layer on top, and apply a crumb coat of frosting.
  6. Slice and serve your cake warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream.
