The cake has a light beige base with dark brown cookie crumbs swirled inside, creating an irregular marbled pattern. The top of the loaf is covered more densely with crushed cookie pieces, adding texture and color contrast against the soft cake. The crust is golden brown and looks slightly firm, while the inside appears moist and soft. The background is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (softened, at room temperature)
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10-12 cookies)
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream, mixing until just combined.
Step 4: Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and mini chocolate chips, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 60-70 minutes (50-60 minutes if using a loaf pan), or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7: Slice and serve once cooled. Enjoy plain or with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special touch.

Tips & Variations

Top the cake with chocolate ganache or cream cheese frosting for a richer dessert.
Try adding a few drops of mint extract and using mint-flavored Oreos for a refreshing twist.
Use different Oreo flavors like golden or peanut butter to customize the taste.

Storage

Store leftover pound cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer freshness, refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat slices gently in the microwave or enjoy chilled.
