Directions
- Bake the Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan or 2 round 8-inch cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes).
- Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Stir in vanilla.
- Gently fold in chopped Oreos.
- Bake 65–75 minutes for a bundt cake (or 35–40 minutes for layer cakes) until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
- Make the Frosting
- Beat butter until creamy.
- Add powdered sugar gradually, mixing well.
- Stir in cream and vanilla until fluffy.
- Fold in finely crushed Oreos.
- Make the White Chocolate Glaze
- Heat cream until hot but not boiling.
- Pour over white chocolate chips, let sit 2 minutes, then stir smooth. Cool until slightly thickened but still pourable.
- Assemble the Cake
- If baking in layers: spread Oreo frosting between cake layers.
- Frost the outside of the cake with cookies & cream frosting.
- Pour white chocolate glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides.
- Decorate with whole Oreos on top and sprinkle with crushed Oreos.
