- Eggs (also at room temperature): To add structure and richness to the cake.
- All-Purpose Flour: The foundation that holds all the ingredients together.

Instructions
This is an overview of the steps needed to make this recipe. The full instructions are available in the recipe card.
Step 1: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Step 4: Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.

Step 6: For the glaze, whisk the ingredients together and drizzle over the cooled cake. Top with additional crushed Oreos if desired.
