Cookies & Cream Cake

Wilton Cake #2 - Cookies & Cream. I didn't have much time last week to prepare for class, so I went with a box mix. Not wanting to make a totally boring plain cake, I got the idea to crush up some Oreos into the batter from Duncan Hines. It turned out pretty good, although I couldn't say I really tasted the Oreo flavor much. But, that could have been due to the amount of buttercream on top :)

Here's the cake:

And here's the recipe:

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
