Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (15.25 ounces / 432 grams) chocolate cake mix
- 1 box (3.9 ounces / 110 grams) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) milk
- 20 Oreo cookies, crushed (divided)
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 stick (½ cup / 113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)
Serving Topping:
- 1 tub (8 ounces / 226 grams) whipped topping (Cool Whip) or vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by coating it with a light layer of cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Create the first foundational layer by evenly distributing half of the crushed Oreo cookies across the bottom of the baking dish.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine chocolate pudding mix and milk, whisking thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and free of lumps.
- Carefully pour the pudding mixture over the initial Oreo layer, ensuring an even distribution that covers the entire surface.
- Gently sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix across the pudding layer, taking care not to mix or disturb the existing layers.
- Drizzle melted butter uniformly over the cake mix, allowing it to seep into the dry ingredients.
- Generously scatter chocolate chips and the remaining crushed Oreo cookies across the top of the cake, creating a textured and inviting surface.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, watching for a set and slightly crispy top that indicates the cake is fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cake to rest for approximately 10 minutes, which helps it settle and makes serving easier.
- Serve the warm cake accompanied by a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Crush Oreos just before layering to maintain their crisp texture and prevent sogginess.
- Use full-fat milk for richer, more decadent pudding consistency that enhances the cake’s overall flavor.
- Experiment with different Oreo flavors like mint or peanut butter to create unique variations of this dessert.
- For gluten-free option, substitute regular cake mix and Oreos with their gluten-free counterparts without compromising taste or texture.
