How to Make Cookies And Cream Cake

  1. Process 2 cups of chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until finely crumbled. Set aside 2 1/4 cups of crumbs (reserve the rest for garnish).
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix, water (as specified on cake mix box), oil (as specified on cake mix box), and 4 large eggs. Mix on low speed with an electric mixer for 1 minute.
  5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, increase speed to medium, and beat for 2 more minutes.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup of the crushed cookie crumbs.
  7. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
  10. In a chilled bowl, beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 4 minutes).
  11. Gently fold in the remaining 1 1/4 cups of cookie crumbs.
  12. Once cakes are completely cool, you can choose to make either a two-layer or four-layer cake.
  13. For a two-layer cake, frost between the layers and the top and sides of the cake.
  14. For a four-layer cake, use a serrated knife to carefully slice each cake layer in half horizontally. Frost between each layer, then frost the top and sides.
  15. Sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs over the top of the frosted cake.
  16. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days.
