Ingredients

8 oz high-quality white chocolate, chopped

3 cups sifted cake flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup shortening

1 cup white sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 teaspoons vanilla

½ cup heavy cream

1 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup water

¾ cup broken (not crushed) chocolate cookie wafers (like Mr. Christies)

½ cup shortening

4 ½ cups sifted powdered sugar, divided

3 tablespoons heavy cream

¼ cup crushed chocolate cookies

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease and flour three 9 inch round cake pans.

Melt the white chocolate, being careful not to scorch it. Set aside to cool slightly.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Separately, cream the shortening and white sugar.

Beat in the melted white chocolate, the applesauce and the vanilla.

Mix the cream, buttermilk and water together.

In three additions, with electric beaters, alternately beat the flour mixture and the milk mixture into the creamed mixture.

Beat only until just smooth.

Fold in cookie chunks by hand.

Pour batter into prepared pans.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until tests done. Allow to cool thoroughly.

Beat shortening in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy.

Gradually beat in 3 cups sugar until well blended and smooth.

Beat in cream, then slowly add remaining sugar until blended.

Beat in cookie crumbs.

Invert one cake layer on serving platter.

Top with a layer of the frosting, then place the second cake layer (right side up) on top.

Use remaining frosting for top and sides of the cake.

For best results refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
