Ingredients

For the Cake

2 ½ cups cake flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
¾ cup buttermilk
14 Oreo Cookies, broken into pieces

For the Frosting

1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
10 Oreo Cookies, crushed to crumbs

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13x9 baking dish with baking spray. Set it aside.
In a bowl, combine cake flour with salt and baking powder. Mix it all together and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with sugar for a couple minutes until well blended, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl as needed. Add in eggs, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Beat for 2 minutes.
Alternating additions of the dry ingredients with the buttermilk, slowly add each (about 3 additions of each). After the final addition of buttermilk, beat for one minute then fold in the broken Oreo cookies.
Pour cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 32-36 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
For the frosting, beat butter with powdered sugar for 2-3 minutes. Add in heavy cream and vanilla extract and beat an additional 2-3 minutes until fluffy. Fold in crushed cookies.
Spread frosting over the cooled cake. Slice and enjoy.
