Instructions

To Make the Cookies n Cream Cake:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix briefly to combine. Add the butter and beat until fully incorporated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, vanilla, sour cream, and milk until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and beat until just combined. Fold in the chopped Oreos until evenly dispersed.
Bake the cake for 27-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and relatively crumb-free. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool completely while you make the frosting.

To Make the Cookies n Cream Whipped Cream Frosting:

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste together until completely smooth.
Add the heavy cream and beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to high speed and beat for 2-3 minutes until thick and stiff peaks form. Fold in the crushed Oreos until evenly dispersed.
Spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cooled snack cake. Top with additional crushed Oreos, if desired.
