Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole milk
12 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Line with parchment paper if desired.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in batches, alternating with the milk. Mix just until combined.
6. Fold in most of the crushed Oreo cookies, reserving a small amount for the top.
7. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos over the batter.
8. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Use room temperature butter, eggs, and milk for a smoother batter and a more even crumb.
Do not overmix once the flour goes in, or the pound cake can turn heavy and tough.
Tent the loaf loosely with foil near the end if the top is browning too fast.
