Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar (350g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (113g), melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk (240ml), room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (about 12 cookies)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (225g), softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (240ml), chilled
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (190g), sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup additional crushed chocolate sandwich cookies for frosting and garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch sheet pan and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined.
  5. Fold in 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, reserving some for topping.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle reserved cookie crumbs on top.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool cake completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
  9. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
  10. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  11. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese until light and fluffy, then fold in ½ cup crushed cookies.
  12. Spread frosting evenly over cooled cake and garnish with extra cookie crumbs or mini cookies.
  13. Refrigerate cake for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough cake. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better texture. Crush cookies by hand for varied texture. Chill cake completely before frosting to prevent melting. Sift powdered sugar for smooth frosting. Refrigerate cake after frosting to set.
