Preparing Cookies and Cream Oreo Cake

Making this cake is as enjoyable as eating it! You’ll start by preheating your oven to get things cooking, then blend your ingredients to create that rich and creamy batter. The best part? Folding in the crushed Oreos, which lends textures and flavors that elevate the entire cake. Once baked to golden perfection, it’s all about layering and decorating — better grab some extra Oreos for this part!

What you’ll need

Here’s a simple checklist to get you started:

• 1 box vanilla cake mix (or homemade vanilla cake batter for those feeling adventurous)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Feel free to use low-fat sour cream for a lighter version or a different brand of cake mix, just make sure it’s a vanilla-flavored one for the best results.
