Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.

- Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cakes are cool, spread a layer of whipped cream on top of one cake layer, then place the second layer on top.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream and decorate with additional crushed Oreos.
