Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Mix dry cake mix with water and egg. Ignore package directions, we’ve got this.
In a sturdy Ziploc bag, crush Oreos with a mallet or hammer until coarsely ground.
Pour into a medium bowl. Add flour, chocolate chips and melted butter and mix until incorporated. Set aside.
Grease a bundt pan, and pour in half of the cake batter.
Top with half of the cookie crumb mixture. Pour remaining batter, then remaining cookie mix.
Bake 45-50 minutes or until set. Cool on wire rack.
Remove cake from pan and place on cake server. Slide strips of parchment paper around and under the cake to keep the plate clean while you glaze.
Mix powdered sugar with vanilla and milk until consistency is thick, but pourable.
Drizzle over cake. Remove parchment strips. Eat. Share. Repeat.
