I have always been a sucker for Oreos. Oreos dipped in Oat Milk, Cookies made with Oreos or just plain ole Oreos…I’m a huge fan!
There’s something about the flavors of cookies and cream cake that takes me back to childhood and puts an instant smile on my face. I am so thankful that now they make them in gluten-free form.
Combining chocolate cake and Oreos is about the best thing ever – I’m a goner every time I make this cookies-and-cream poke cake. And Hey! I am also a sucker for making poke cakes. Here is another recipe that I love because I love bananas –Southern Banana Pudding Poke Cake.
Ingredients Needed
Please note that a full list of ingredients and a printable version of this recipe is available below.
For Cake
- 1 (16.5oz) box of chocolate cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cups marshmallow fluff (crème)
- 1 tbsp water
- ½ cup Oreo Cookies – filling removed and finely grounded
- Nonstick baking spray
For Whipped Topping
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup crushed Oreo Cookies
- 6 Oreo cookies, cut in half – these are for decorating the cake.
- Chocolate fudge sauce – optional
How to Make This Oreo Cookie Cake
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then, prepare a non-stick 9 in by 13 in pan by spraying it with cooking oil.
STEP TWO: Next, in a large bowl (or using a stand mixer), add a cake mix, 1 cup water, vegetable oil, and three eggs. Mix until well combined, then place the baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes.
STEP THREE: Remove from oven and immediately poke holes in cake. You can use the opposite side of a wooden spoon. Let the cake sit until cooled.
STEP FOUR: Next, combine 1 tablespoon of water with the marshmallow fluff. Stir together, then melt in the microwave for 20 seconds.
Stir well and add in ¼ cup ground Oreo cookies.
STEP FIVE: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cake and let it sit while you prepare the whipped topping.
To make the whipped topping – Using a stand mixer, combine two cups of heavy cream and powdered sugar. On medium speed, combine until peaks form. Then, fold in the Oreo cookies.
Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake. Sprinkle on chopped Oreos and add the halved Oreos. Drizzle chocolate sauce over the top if you’d like!
Smart Baking Tips
Poke the holes in the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven. This way you are not working against a cool, hardened cake. It is the softest when it comes out of the oven.
After you have heated the marshmallow fluff, pour and smooth immediately over the cake.
If you don’t plan on serving the whole cake, only add crushed cookies to the slices you plan to serve right away. Wait to decorate the rest of the cake so the cookies don’t get soggy.
