Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup chocolate sandwich cookies crushed, for batter
  • 3 cups buttercream frosting for layering and decorating
  • 1 cup chocolate sandwich cookies crushed, for frosting
  • 6 whole chocolate sandwich cookies for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch cake pans.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg whites one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • For the frosting, fold the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies into the buttercream frosting.
  • Spread a layer of frosting over one cake layer, then place the second cake layer on top.
  • Frost the entire cake with the cookies and cream buttercream, smoothing the edges.
  • Garnish with whole chocolate sandwich cookies on top before serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Serving Tip: Add a drizzle of chocolate ganache for an extra indulgent touch.
  • Customization: Use chocolate cake layers instead of vanilla for a double chocolate cookies and cream cake.
