Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, water, oil, and 3 egg whites.
-
Beat on low speed just until the ingredients are moistened and combined.
-
Increase speed to high and beat for 2 minutes to incorporate air for a lighter texture.
-
Gently fold in the crushed Oreos until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
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 remove to wire racks to cool completely.
-
While cakes cool, prepare the frosting: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar, shortening, vanilla, and 2 egg whites.
-
Blend well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Gradually beat in the remaining powdered sugar until the frosting is fluffy and holds its shape.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of frosting over the top.
-
Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake smoothly.
-
Press the whole cookies vertically along the sides of the cake and arrange any remaining cookies on top for decoration.
