Oreo Cookie Cake is a fluffy 2-layer chocolate cake sandwiched with a cream cheese and Oreo frosting, then drizzled with melted chocolate. It’s a delicious cake that looks fancy, but it couldn’t be any easier to make!

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, but 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 nowadays!)
And did I mention it’s delicious?
It really is SUPER YUMMY! It’s covered in chocolate, how can it not be fantastic?!
Here’s how to make it –
How To Make Oreo Cookie Cake
INGREDIENTS –
- Chocolate Cake – You will need 1 box of chocolate cake mix + the ingredients on the box.
- Chocolate Ganache – We’re just mixing Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate with melted butter.
- Cream Cheese Frosting – cream cheese, sugar, and whipped topping.
- Oreo Cookies – Coarsely crushed by hand or in a food processor
Cake Batter – First, grab your favorite box of chocolate cake mix and make it using two 9-inch round cake pans. Spray them generously with nonstick cooking spray. Once they’re done baking in the oven, 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, or in the bowl of your stand mixer. Blend the cream cheese, cool whip, and sugar together in a bowl.
Fold – Gently add the crushed Oreo cookies and whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture. I use a wooden spoon to fold this. If you use a hand mixer, the Oreos will turn the frosting brown.
Assemble – Once the cakes have cooled you can assemble the 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 the cake is assembled, the last thing you need to do is make the chocolate glaze topping. Place the chocolate and butter in a microwave safe 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.
Drizzle – Pour the melted chocolate 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 instead 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.
Seriously, how good does this Oreo cookie cake look?? Let me know when you make it and I’ll be over in 10 minutes with 2 glasses of milk!
