Chocolate Oreo Cake
I have made this chocolate-covered Oreo cookie cake recipe several times over the years and I have never been disappointed. Not only does it taste delicious, it’s also a really pretty cake that looks impressive without all the hard work. (Which is kind of the only recipes I ever attempt now a days.) 😉
And did I mention it’s delicious? (I did?) It really is SUPER YUMMY! (Hello, its covered in chocolate, how can it not be fantastic?!)
How To Make Oreo Cookie Cake
This Oreo cookie cake recipe is super simple to make and here are the step-by-step directions. If you’re a visual learner like me, I’ve included a video that will be running off to the side that will take you through the entire process of making this delicious cake!
Cake Batter – First, grab your favorite box of chocolate cake mix and make it using two 9 inch round pans. Once they’re done baking, you’ll want to set them aside until they cool completely.
Oreo Filling – While those are baking, you can make the Oreo cookie filling with a standard hand mixer. Using a hand mixer, blend the cream cheese, cool whip and sugar together in a bowl. gently stir in the crushed Oreo cookies to the cream cheese mixture.
Compile – Once the cakes have cooled you can assemble cake with the Oreo cookie filling. Spread the Oreo filling evenly over one of the chocolate cakes. Then, place the second chocolate cake on top to form an “Oreo”.
Topping – Once assembled, the last thing to do is make the chocolate glaze topping. Place the chocolate and butter in a bowl and microwave it until the butter has melted. Then give it a good stir until the chocolate has completely melted and mixed with the butter. Pour this delicious topping over the Oreo cookie cake and serve.
Tip For Making Oreo Cake
Coloring – If you want to keep the filling white, make sure you mix in the cookies by hand. As you’ll see in the video, when I was stirring in the cream cheese and crushed cookies I just put them all together and used a hand mixer in stead of mixing by hand. This gave the mixture more of a brown coloring.
Frosting – If you prefer a thicker topping, you can also use a standard chocolate cake frosting. Or if you’re addicted to chocolate like I am, you can do both.:)
