  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

*Make the Frosting:*

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth.
  • Gradually add the confectioner's sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until creamy.
  • Fold in the crushed Oreos.

*Assemble the Cake:*

  • Decorate with additional Oreo pieces or cookie crumbs if desired.
