- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (315g)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (226g)
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar (350g)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream (240g)
- 3/4 cup whole milk (180ml)

- Extra cookie crumbs for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan or two 8-inch cake pans.
- Mix the Oreo cookie crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into the bottom of the pan to create a thick chocolate cookie crust.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy and light.
- Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
- Stir in sour cream and milk until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, then fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
- Pour the batter over the crust and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
- For the frosting, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream until fluffy.
- Fold in crushed Oreo cookies to achieve that classic cookies & cream texture. Frost the cake generously and create bakery-style swirls around the edges using a piping tip.
- Decorate with whole Oreos, chocolate dollops, and extra cookie crumbs for the ultimate Oreo dessert finish.
- Chill for 20 minutes before slicing for clean, bakery-style layers.
