Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 8-inch cake pans.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until creamy.
- Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Alternate adding the milk and dry ingredients to the butter mixture until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the egg whites and chopped Oreo cookies into the batter.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for about 35 minutes.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the white chocolate mousse, pour hot heavy cream over chopped white chocolate, stir until smooth, and let cool.
- Beat softened cream cheese in another bowl, then mix in cooled white chocolate. Fold in whipped cream and chopped Oreo cookies.
- For the frosting, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla until fluffy. Stir in pulverized Oreo cookies.
- Make the ganache by pouring hot cream over semi-sweet chocolate and whisking until glossy.
- Assemble the cake by layering the mousse between cake layers and frosting the outside with cream cheese frosting. Press Oreo crumbs onto the sides.
- Chill the cake for 30 minutes.
- Drip ganache over the top and decorate with more frosting and halved Oreos.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours before serving.
