A Crumbs and Doilies OG (Original Gangster if ya didn't know). We can't believe we've not yet shown you guys this recipe yet, so here it is in all its glory, the Cookies and Cream cake. We use Black Cocoa in our sponges to give that intense Oreo-type flavour, but you can use regular Cocoa if that's all you can get your hands on. The sponges are filled with our famous fluffy Vanilla Buttercream along with pools of Dark Chocolate Ganache and Broken Oreo Cookies for that essential CRUNCH. This Cookies and Cream cake is simply delicious. It's moist, soft, and not too sweet! Plus its really easy to make!

I feel like coffee in chocolate cake, and pasta water in pasta sauces are the magic ingredients to make the best food!

Been streaming Oreo Cakes for a chocolate cake request by my primary physician and his office. Went for a routine check-up a few weeks back and the FIRST thing my doctor said was, "I am ready for another cake for my office!" (They know I bake cakes, not so much for a living anymore, but more of a hobby now.) And YES, he is going to pay me! He requested a chocolate cake and IMMEDIATELY when I came across Jemma's cake recipe made by Sally and Dane, I KNEW THIS WAS THE ONE! Thanks to the both of you for a great tutorial.

If this pandemic would just end, I would definitely have to take a trip to the UK to come to the C&D shop, just to get a slice of this cake. I love cookies and cream EVERYTHING! This cake is right up my alley!
