**Cookies and Cream Bundt Cake**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup sugar
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
– 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
– Cooking spray, for greasing the pan
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously spray a Bundt pan with cooking spray to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
5. Gently fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
7. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. For an extra touch, you can drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the cake and sprinkle with additional crushed cookies before serving.
