Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease and flour two round cake pans.
-
In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix, water, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
-
Mix at low speed just until the ingredients are moistened and combined.
-
Increase mixer speed to high and beat for 2 minutes to aerate the batter.
-
Gently fold in the crushed cookies, reserving 10 whole cookies for decoration.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
-
Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
-
For the frosting, combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar, shortening, vanilla, and egg whites in a small bowl.
-
Beat until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in the remaining powdered sugar until the frosting is thick and fluffy.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half the frosting over the top.
-
Top with the second cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
-
Decorate by pressing the reserved whole cookies into the sides and top of the cake.
