Ingredients
Oreo Cookies and Cream Vanilla Snack Cake
- 1 ¼ cup milk regular or plant-based (almond, oat)
- ½ cup melted butter regular or vegan
- 1 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups regular or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.
- 2 cups regular or gluten free oreo cookies, divided crushed into bite-sized pieces
Cream Cheese Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon melted butter vegan or regular
- 2 tablespoon cream cheese vegan or regular
Instructions
Vanilla Oreo Cookies N Cream Snack Cake
- Spray a loaf or round cake pan with non-stick baking spray.
- Preheat the oven to 375 for a loaf cake or 350 for a round, square, or rectangle cake.
- In a medium sized bowl, crush 8-10 oreo cookies into large bite-sized hunks (until you have about 2 cups) of crushed oreo cookies. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the milk (I used unsweetened almond milk), melted butter, cane sugar, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Once the mixture is smooth, add the flour and mix until a thick cake batter is formed. Be careful not to over-mix the batter or the cake will be dense and dry.
- Fold in half of the oreo cookie crumbles (about 1 cup). Transfer the batter into the baking pan and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes for a round, square, or rectangle cake or 35-40 minutes for a loaf pan.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing from the pan and setting it onto your serving dish.
Topping Your Vanilla Cookies and Cream Cake
- While your cake is baking, use a whisk or electric hand mixer to mix the powdered sugar, the melted butter, and cream cheese together.
- Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the cake once it's cool (or while it's still warm) and then top the cake with the remaining crushed Oreo cookies.

Notes
