A playful, crowd-pleasing dessert that layers chocolate cookie crunch with light, vanilla cake and creamy frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
  • 2 cups buttercream frosting
  • Extra whole cookies for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with buttermilk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until just combined. Fold in 3/4 cup crushed cookies.
  5. Divide batter evenly between pans. Smooth tops and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  6. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
  7. For frosting, beat butter and powdered sugar until fluffy, then fold in a few tablespoons of cookie crumbs for texture.
  8. Level cakes if needed, spread frosting between layers and on top, and press extra cookie crumbs around the sides for garnish.

Notes

Use room-temperature ingredients for best results and avoid overmixing to prevent a dense cake.
