Black-and-White Cookie Ripple Coffee Cake

This is the ultimate cookies 'n' cream cake that makes your kitchen smell as though you're baking Oreo cookies....which you actually are!

The cake is a moist vanilla cake made tender by the inclusion of buttermilk. The cake is topped with Oreo "streusel" (chopped cookies) that retain their crunch even after baking. And then there's the filling: a layer of chopped cookies is transformed into a fudgy ripple when the creamy cookie filling melts and melds with the chocolate wafer. The cake is finished with a vanilla icing drizzle.

Apart from the Oreo cookies, the ingredients are very basic and the cake takes no more effort to make than the average coffee cake but the results are spectacular and a real crowd pleaser!
