25 Oreo cookies; quartered
2-1/2 ts Baking powder
3 c Flour
1 ts Salt
1-1/2 c Sugar
1 ts Vanilla extract
1-1/4 c Milk
4 lg Eggs
1 c Butter flavor crisco
Chocolate glaze:
6 oz Semi sweet chocolate chips
1 tb Milk
3 tb Butter flavor crisco
1 tb Corn syrup
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease/flour 9" tube pan. Cut each
sandwich cookie into quarters and reserve. In large bowl,
with mixer at low speed, beat flour and remaining
ingredients except Chocolate Glaze until blended.
Increase speed to high, beat 2 minutes, occ. scraping bowl.
Spoon about 3/4 cup batter into pan. Gently stir cut-up
cookies into remaining batter and spoon into same pan. (I
like to gently push about three to seven whole cookies into
the batter so kids get the extra surprise of finding them!)
Bake 50 minutes or till cake springs back (toothpick test
doesn't come out clean)! Cool cake in pan on wire rack ten
minutes; remove from pan; cool completely on rack. When
cake is cool, prepare chocolate glaze.
CHOCOLATE GLAZE In l-qt saucepan over low heat, heat
semi-sweet chocolate pieces, butter-flavored shortening,
milk, and corn syrup, stirring till melted and smooth. Pour
warm glaze over top and sides of cake. It hardens to a rich
thick coat!! I love this cake refrigerated!!!
