Angel Cookie Cake
1 package white angel food cake mix
1 1/4 cups cold water
3 chocolate sandwich cookies, finely crushed
1 package fluffy white frosting mix
1/2 cup boiling water
6 chocolate sandwich cookies, cut in half
Move oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat
cake mix and cold tap water in large (4-quart) glass or metal bowl
on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 1 minute. Carefully
fold crushed cookies into batter. Pour into ungreased angel food
(tube) pan. Gently cut through batter in pan using metal spatula or
knife.
Bake 37 to 47 minutes or until top is dark golden brown and cracks
feel very dry and not sticky. Do not underbake. Immediately turn pan
upside down onto glass bottle, or rest edges on 2 to 4 cans of equal
height. Let stand 2 hours or until completely cool. Remove from pan
by gently pulling cake away from side of pan, using fingers, taking
care not to tear cake (cake will spring back to original shape.)
Turn pan over; press on removable bottom of pan, or shake pan gently
to remove cake.
Beat frosting mix and boiling water in small glass or metal bowl on
low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed 5
to 7 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, until stiff peaks form.
Frost cake, and garnish with sandwich cookie halves.
