- Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and cool completely on wire racks.

- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
- Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, and beat until fluffy.

- Decorate with additional crushed Oreos or whole cookies if desired.
4. Serve:
