Ingredients
- for the cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed Golden Oreos
- for the frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions
Start by setting your oven to 350°F (177°C). Giving your oven the time to preheat ensures that your cake will rise perfectly. Imagine that warm air circulating and setting the stage for a magical baking experience!
Grab two 9-inch cake pans and grease them well. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release after baking. This simple step will prevent any sticky situations, allowing your beautiful cakes to come out flawlessly. Oh, what a joy it will be to unveil your creation later!
In a sizable bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This combination establishes the foundation of your cake. The light, airy mixture will help your cake rise beautifully, giving it that perfect fluffy texture. The aroma of fresh flour is already a promise of the delight to come!
In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This process introduces air into the butter, which results in a tender, moist cake. The creamy texture of the mix will make you feel like a baking pro already!
Next, add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Follow this with a splash of vanilla extract to infuse your batter with a homely sweetness. A rich and creamy blend is developing, and you can already imagine how delicious this is going to be!
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Stir gently to combine; this will ensure a smooth batter. Each fold brings you closer to that dreamy cake mixture that you can’t wait to bake!
Crumble in those Golden Oreos and fold them gently into the batter. This is where the magic happens; you’re inviting bursts of cookie flavor to your cake, promising delightful bites of creaminess and crunch. Can you imagine how tasty that will be?
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and pop them into the oven. Set a timer for about 25-30 minutes, and let the aroma of baking waft through your kitchen. You can look forward to that golden crust forming while the center stays soft and inviting!
Once baked, let the cakes cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Patience is key here! The anticipation will only enhance your appreciation for the finished product.
Once completely cool, frost with your favorite icing. A cream cheese or buttercream frosting would beautifully complement the Golden Oreos. Feel free to crumble some additional cookies on top for that extra special touch!
