Why not take this beloved duo to a whole new level by incorporating it into a delicious cake? Introducing the best Milk ‘N Cookies Cakes recipe that is sure to become your new favorite dessert.

Ingredients:

– 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

– 3 ½ tsp baking powder

– 1 tsp salt

– 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

– 2 cups granulated sugar

– 4 large eggs

– 1 cup whole milk

– 2 tsp vanilla extract

– 1 cup crushed cookies of your choice (Oreo, chocolate chip, or any other)

For the frosting:

– 2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature

– 6 cups powdered sugar

– ¼ cup whole milk

– 2 tsp vanilla extract

– Additional cookies for decoration (whole and crushed)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans.

2. In a medum bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.

4. Gradually add in the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

5. Stir in vanilla extract, followed by the crushed cookies, taking care not to overmix.

6. Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared pans. Use a spatula to smooth out the tops.

7. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and smooth.

9. Once the cakes have cooled, assemble by placing one cake layer on a plate or cake stand. Spread a generous amount of frosting evenly on top of the first layer, followed by sprinkling some crushed cookies. Repeat this process with the remaining cake layers.

10. Use the remaining frosting to cover the entire cake with a thin layer of frosting (known as a crumb coat). Chill the cake for about 15 minutes to set the crumb coat.

11. After chilling, apply a final layer of frosting to fully cover and smooth out the cake’s surface.

12. Decorate as desired with additional whole cookies, crushed cookies, or any other edible decorations of your choice.
