Vegan Vanilla Cake with Cookies n Cream oreos this recipe

This is a sweet cake! It’s an American style vanilla butter cake (it’s definitely sweet) with a fabulous cookies and cream frosting. You can either use vegan store brought cookies or make your own. Either way it’s a sweet-as winner!

    Hi! This recipe looks great I can’t wait to try it!
    I only have one question, in the photo looks like it’s 3 layers…but the recipe calls for 2 pans! What do you suggest for a 3 layer cake? 6 inch! Thank you!

    I made the vanilla cake without the frosting to use in a child’s birthday cake and it was delicious, really moist and the children loved it! It kept really well at room temperature for a couple of days (although I’m in the UK so room temperature isn’t that warm at this time of year!) I doubled the amount of cake batter and baked for about 2 hours in 2 x 8″ pans. I will definitely be making this again and will do the cookie frosting next time as that looks delicious!

    This cake is heaven! I made it two weeks in a row after the recipe was shared. I was even making a 5 layer cake that ended up with only 4 layers because I ate one …oops!

    This is my new vanilla cake recipe!
