- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in sour cream.
- Gently fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy, gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until fluffy, then fold in crushed cookies.
- Assemble the cake by frosting between each layer and on the top and sides. Decorate with whole cookies and crushed cookies.
