Chocolate Cookie Cake Recipe

This is one of my husband’s favorite cakes. The cake is moist & yummy, the whipped cream cheese frosting is light and delicious, it looks pretty, and it is all easy to make!

Chocolate Cookie Cake

from Taste of Home: Busy Family Cookbook

• 1 pkg white cake mix
• 16 cream-filled sandwich cookies, coarsely crushed Nabisco Coupons
• 1 pkg cream cheese (3 oz), softened Cream Cheese Coupons
• 2 Tbsp milk Milk Coupons
• 2 c heavy whipping cream
• 3/4 c confectioners’ sugar
• additional cookies for garnish

Cake Mix Trick:

This will improve your cake mix. I found this trick in the comments of a post on Tidy Mom, from a pastry chef named Shelly. (Thanks!)
Look at the directions on the cake mix box…

• add one more egg (or add two additional if you want it to be really rich)
• double the oil amount, but use melted butter instead of oil
• use milk instead of water

See the Boston Cream Pie Recipe from a cake mix that I posted about last month. It is from the same cookbook and I used the same cake mix trick too.
