How to cook deliciously - Cookie Lovers Cake

1. Stage

Make cake: Preheat oven to 350° and line three 9" cake pans with parchment paper. Grease with cooking spray. In a large bowl, prepare cake mixes according to package instructions. Gently fold in Oreos and chocolate chips. Divide among pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.

2. Stage

Make frosting: In another large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter with half the powdered sugar until smooth. Add remaining powdered sugar, ½ cup milk, blue food coloring, and ¼ teaspoon salt and beat until fluffy. If mixture is too stiff, add more milk.

3. Stage

Level the top of each cake with a serrated knife to create even layers. Place down one cake and top with a heaping cup of frosting, then top with second cake and repeat with third layer.

4. Stage

Using about 1 1/2 cups of frosting, smooth a crumb coat around outside of the cake. Transfer cake to refrigerator until frosting is hardened, 30 minutes to 1 hour.

5. Stage

Spread outside of cake with remaining frosting.

6. Stage

Make ganache: In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat heavy cream just until it bubbles. Place chocolate chips in a small heatproof bowl and pour over hot heavy cream. Let sit 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and no clumps remain.

7. Stage

Drizzle ganache on top of cake, letting it drip down the sides.

8. Stage

Separate two Oreo cookies, leaving frosting on one half. Press one Milk Dud into the frosting of each opened Oreo to make eyes and set cookies in the center of cake.

9. Stage

Decorate the bottom edge of cake by alternating pressing in Oreos and chocolate chip cookies.

10. Stage

Let ganache set slightly, about 15 minutes, before serving.
