Ingredients

  • 3 + 3/4 cups water for steaming, divided
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, for dusting
  • 1 box (16 ounces) white cake mix
  • 3/4 cup water, for cake batter
  • 1/2 cup canola oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 container (14 ounces) whipped vanilla frosting
  • 6 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed

Utensils needed

  • Large Bowl
  • Whisk

Instructions

Step 1
Pour 3 cups water into the pot. Spray the bottom of the Ninja Multi-Purpose Pan* (or 8" round baking pan) with cooking spray and dust with flour.

Step 2
To make the cake, place the cake mix, 3/4 cup water, oil, and eggs in a large bowl. Prepare according to the directions on the cake box. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Step 3
Place the pan on the bottom layer of the Deluxe Reversible Rack in the lower position, then place the rack in the pot. Close the lid and move slider to STEAMCRISP.

Step 4
Select STEAM & BAKE, set temperature to 285°F, and set time to 25 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (PrE will display for approx. 20 minutes as the unit steams, then the timer will start counting down).

Step 5
When cooking is complete, check doneness by inserting a wooden toothpick into the middle of the cake. If it comes out clean, remove the rack with the pan and let cool for at least 1 hour. If the toothpick comes out with moist crumbs stuck to it, continue to bake until the toothpick comes out clean.

Step 6
When the cake has cooled, frost with the whipped vanilla frosting and top with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies.
