oreo dessert recipe

This Chocolate Oreo Cake is to die for! A moist chocolate cake full of Oreo icing! And not just any Oreo icing - it is FULL of crushed up Oreos. An Oreo lover’s dream.

Chocolate Oreo Cake

(260 grams) flour

(414 grams) sugar

(85 grams) natural unsweetened cocoa powder OR Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa powder

tsp baking soda

salt

eggs

(240 milliliters) buttermilk

(240 milliliters) vegetable oil

tsp vanilla extract

(240 milliliters) boiling water

(336 grams) butter

(284 grams) shortening

(920 grams-1035 grams) powdered sugar

(414 grams) Oreo crumbs (about 33 Oreos)

6-7 tbsp (90 milliliters-105 milliliters) water

oz (1 cup | 169 grams) semi sweet chocolate chips

heavy whipping cream

Oreos, optional

Prepare three 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper circles in the bottom, and grease the sides.

2. Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and whisk together.

3. Add eggs, buttermilk and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and mix well.

4. Add vanilla to boiling water and add to mixture. Mix well.

5. Divide batter between three cakes pans and bake at 300 degrees for about 30-33 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.

6. Remove cakes from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then remove to cooling racks to cool completely.

7. Make icing while cakes cool. Beat together butter and shortening until smooth.

8. Slowly add 4 cups of powdered sugar and mix until smooth.

9. Add vanilla and Oreo crumbs and mix until smooth.

10. Add another 4-5 cups of powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add water or milk until you get a smooth consistency.

11. Set aside about 3 1/2 cups of icing for the filling inside the cake and add chopped Oreos, if using.

12. Once cakes are cool, remove cake domes from top with a large serrated knife.

13. Place first layer of cake on cake plate. Spread 1/2 of the icing with the chopped Oreos on top in an even layer.

14. Add second layer of cake and add the rest of the of icing with chopped Oreos on top in an even layer.

15. Add final layer of cake on top and frost the outside of the cake with remaining frosting. Feel free to use my tutorial for how to frost a smooth cake.

16. To make the chocolate ganache, add the chocolate chips to a medium sized bowl (see my tips on making chocolate ganache).

17. Heat the heavy whipping cream just until it begins to boil, then pour it over the chocolate chips. Allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

18. Drizzle the chocolate ganache around the edge of the cake, then pour the remainder of the ganache on top of the cake and spread evenly. I like to use a squeeze bottle for drizzling around the edges.

9. Allow the ganache to firm up a bit, then pipe the remainder of the frosting around the top edge of the cake (see my tips on making a chocolate drip cake) and add an Oreo between each swirl. I used Ateco tip 847.

0. Sprinkle a few Oreo crumbs onto to the cake, if desired, then serve. Cake is best when well covered for 3-4 days.

The cake was quite sticky. Almost like a fudge cake.

I'm about to make this cake but I was wondering if I'm suppose to use a mixer or not?

I made the oreo cake on Thursday and it turned out beautiful. One little question though, the chocolate cake itself has the baking soda after taste. Is it possible to reduce amount of baking soda and add baking powder to the ingredients please? If so, what amount would you recommend please? Thanks for the great recipe.

I made this cake for my daughter's birthday. It was really good.  I have to say, the cake itself is likely going to be my go to chocolate cake.  It cooked perfectly.  It was super moist, light, tasted great.  It was just the perfect chocolate cake.

This looks amazing! I was planning on making it this weekend, but was a little confused by part of the instructions. Personally, how do you go about getting the Oreo crumbs? Do you just toss the cookies in a food processor whole? Or do you scrape off the filling first? Maybe that’s a dumb question, but based on your pictures it doesn’t look like the crumbs on the cake have any filling. Thanks! I’m excited to give this a try 

Three years ago my brother asked for an Oreo cake for his birthday. I’d not done much baking up until then, but this cake was a game changer. Both the cake and the buttercream icing have become my go-to recipes, and I’m now asked to make this three or four times a year for friends’ birthdays. So simple and so delicious! Thank you!! 

I made the icing portion and it was delicious!!! It wasn’t too heavy, and tasted amazing.

I Love this recipe, I've  made this Cakes so many times since I got it!!! Thanks so much for sharing.....

Delicious!  My daughter loves Oreos, so I made it for her birthday.

Loved this recipe. I used a good processor to make the Oreo crumbs. Turned out great! 

Hi Lindsay, Thank you for sharing this recipe. I would like to know if we can use this recipe for cupcakes. 

This cake is SO good! The only change I made was subbing the boiling water with 1 cup fresh brewed coffee. It really brings out the chocolate flavor! This cake is SO moist &amp; got rave reviews when I made it. Thanks for this awesome recipe!:)

We made this over the weekend and everyone who ate it loved it.  I have been asked for the recipe from everyone. The only thing I will say is the icing level was way to much for me. But, no one else was complaining.  Personal tastes, LOL. 
I would use the cake portion of the recipe anytime I wanted chocolate cake, it alone was fabulous.  My wife and I have already been considering options for other cakes using the chocolate cake recipe.
Again, amazing.

This cake met my expectations and those who tried it, also. 

This cake was delicious.  Everyone loved it even my sister in law who is not a fan of chocolate. It’s easy to make. I made just the cake part as a trial before making the whole thing, my daughter and I finished it just on its own it was soo fudgy and yummy. Would highly highly recommended :) oh and the frosting is to die for. 

This recipe is divine! The frosting is tasteful and the cake is so light and fluffy. I made these into cupcakes (½ of this recipe yielded 12 cupcakes) and baked them at 300 degrees for 22 minutes. Other changes I made was using only half the listed amount of sugar + oil, and replaced coffee for boiling water. For the (full recipe) frosting, I used 2 sticks of butter (no shortening) and 2 cups + 2 heaping spoonfuls of powdered sugar. They still came out amazing with these changes and I’d definitely recommend!

I've tried so many chocolate cake recipes before and everyone is dry and dense.
But this one is the BEST ONE i have probably ever made! Its moist and chocolatey!
Also you could add 1/2 cup of coffee/expresso and other 1/2 water to enhanse chocolate flavor.
Definitely recommend!!

Sorry another question... to make oreo crumbs did u put in food processor or put them in a bag and use a rolling pin? Just because i found it hard to pipe rosettes on top of cake because big pieces of oreo got stuck in piping tip.
Thanks

This cake is a 10 out of 10 for me! I have made this cake many times and loved it, those that eat it loves it too! I also use this recipe ANY time I need a chocolate cake!! I really do not trust anyone else chocolate cake recipe!  LoL😀 Thanks so much!! I was going to use this recipe for cupcakes, but I see you have a chocolate cupcake recipe!

Made this cake last weekend and it was a hit! The batter was SO easy! I need to make a marbled cake and now I’m obsessed with this cake recipe - do you think I can just leave out the cocoa powder for the vanilla portion of the marble?
Thanks! 

I made this cake today for my grandpa’s 80th birthday celebration and it was a HIT! Decadent, rich, perfection! Thanks for a great recipe!

Hi there, 
I’m in the middle of making my batter but I can’t decide about the icing. Would this work with Oreo cream cheese icing instead?

I made this cake one time and it is now the requested cake for all birthdays, holidays, and cake cravings 😋 I love that the frosting is so forgiving because of the texture with the cookie crumbs. It always comes out looking so smooth and professional. Amazing!

Made this yesterday and it turned out AMAZING! I love the crunchy Oreo bits in the frosting. We ended up using about half of the recommended amount of sugar for the frosting because we thought it was plenty sweet. Taste as you go! Also, these cakes were a bit fragile and took careful planning to get out of the pan in one piece, so make sure you really grease those pans well and don't skip the parchment paper! Well worth the effort though. This is my new favorite chocolate cake recipe! YUM!

One of the best cakes I Made so far! So moist and taste so goood! 

Made this for my friend's birthday and it turned out amazing! Followed everything to a tee and she loved it, thank you so much xx

SO GOOD. This will be my go-to chocolate cake from now on.  I think next time I may substitute hot coffee for the hot water and intensify the chocolate flavor even more. Thanks for the awesome recipe- it is an impressive looking and delicious cake.

This cake tastes amaaazzzing when I made it. However, how can I adjust the recipe if I am using a 9" pan and want to make 2 tier cake instead?

Tastes good but it’s really really liquidy. I followed all the steps. Was it supposed to be like that?

Did you try baking it yet? It's supposed to be that thin. Sounds correct.

I decided to try this cake out for fun and I was NOT disappointed! The best chocolate cake I’ve ever had it was SO moist! I did change the frosting a little..used cream cheese in place of shortening just because I don’t like classic buttercream flavor but this cake was awesome and we were NOT disappointed! 

These Oreo Cookie Shots are a fun, boozy way to serve up dessert! If a big piece of cake is going to weigh you down try these tasty drinks at your next party instead!

Oreo Cookie Shots

Baileys Irish Cream

chocolate vodka

cream de cacao

kahlua

Corn syrup

Oreo cookies, pulled apart

Oreo cookies

My Fudgy Cookies and Cream Brownies have the best Oreo flavor and were a HUGE hit when I made them. These rich brownies are topped with an Oreo-filled white chocolate topping, and they're simple to prepare!

Fudgy Cookies and Cream Brownies

unsalted butter

oz semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

eggs, room temperature

(114 grams) Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder OR natural unsweetened cocoa powder

(130 grams) all-purpose flour

(153 grams) chopped Oreos (about 13-14 Oreos)

oz (about 2 cups) white chocolate chips

tbsp (90 milliliters) heavy whipping cream

tbsp (26 grams) powdered sugar

(138 grams) chopped Oreos (12 Oreos)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9&#215;13 inch pan or line it with parchment paper that sticks up above the sides, which can be used to lift the finished brownies out of the pan and make cutting easier. Set pan aside.

2. Combine the butter and chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 20-30 second increments, stirring well after each, until melted and smooth.

3. Add the sugar and whisk until combined.

4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk together to combine.

5. Add the cocoa, flour and salt and stir with a rubber or wooden spatula until well combined. Batter will be very thick.

7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, then bake for 25-30 minutes. To test the brownies for being done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs, they&#8217;re done.

8. Set the brownies aside to cool. When mostly cool, make the cookies and cream layer.

9. Add the white chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream to a large microwave safe bowl and heat in 20-30 second increments, stirring well after each, until melted and smooth. Mixture will be thick.

10. Stir in the powdered sugar and chopped Oreos, then spread evenly on top of the brownies. The mixture will be thick, just use your spatula to help spread it.

11. Allow the brownies to cool completely, then cut into squares. The cookies and cream layer will be quite firm to the touch, but great on top of the brownies.

12. Store the leftover brownies in an air tight container at room temperature for up to a week.

I made these for a school function and they were a huge hit!! Delicious!

You have managed to merge two of my daughters favorite things! I will be making these for her this weekend! 

These are delicious. I made one modification and only used one cup of sugar instead of two and am so glad I did. They would’ve been way too sweet with two cups of sugar! 

These were the best brownies I've ever had. I made them a little late in the day, and cut a little square off the edge just to try, and no sooner had I done that than my taste buds forced me to cut a huge piece and eat it. Fudgy, creamy, different textures, and easy to make. YUM!

I just made these for my daughter to bring to a party at her teaching job. She needs hem for the morning. Can I put them in the refrigerator or should I leave them out? 

Lindsay, 
OK, so these were amazing, and I’m not surprised, because every recipe I make of yours is incredible. My guests RAVED about them. Now, I’ve been trying to find and come up with the perfect brownie recipe (for how I like them) as long as I can remember, and the base of these seem like it just might be it. Do you think the base would work out well on its own, without the Oreos? Maybe if I add some dark chocolate chips even...
Thank you!
Sara

Ummmm excuse me.. What have you done? These look so good! Going to make them tonight!

These were soooooo good. I can’t stop eating them!!!

Made this tonight as a test run for Christmas goodies next week.... oooooh boy they were fantastic. Definitely sweet, but it cured my sweet tooth for the night. I used 1.5 cups of sugar instead of 2 but that was my only sub. Thanks for sharing!! 

It is VERY rare for me to find a dessert that all of my family of 7 enjoys.  Everyone loved these brownies!  These are easy and delicious.  Great video as well.  Thanks for sharing the recipe.  :)

I love this recipe!! So easy to make and delicious! I made them as a trial in advance for Mother’s Day and i know my mum and rest of family will absolutely love them!

My Fudgy Cookies and Cream Brownies have the best Oreo flavor and were a HUGE hit when I made them! These rich brownies are topped with an Oreo-filled white chocolate topping, and they’re simple to prepare! Recipe: https://www.lifeloveandsugar.com/fudgy-cookies-and-cream-brownies/

Cookies and Cream Brownies

This Oreo Cookie Bark is a simple no bake treat that takes Oreo cookies to the next level! Two creamy layers of dark chocolate are loaded with crushed cookies and filled with homemade Oreo filling!

Oreo Cookie Bark

chocolate

Oreo Cookies

vegetable shortening

butter, room temperature

sugar

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Set aside.

Finely crush or chop the Oreo cookies, divide in half and set aside.

Chop the chocolate and divide in half. Place half the chocolate in a medium, heat safe bowl. Bring an inch of water in a medium pot to a simmer. Place the bowl on top of the simmering pot (making sure the bowl doesn&#8217;t touch the water) and melt the chocolate, stirring frequently. Alternately, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30- second increments, stirring in between each until melted and smooth.

When chocolate is melted stir in half of the crushed Oreos. Spread the mixture evenly in a thin layer on your prepared pan.

In the bowl of your stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter and shortening until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add in the powdered sugar. Turn the mixer up to medium-high speed and mix for 1 more minute, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Set aside.

Remove chocolate from freezer and spread the filling on top of the chocolate using an off-set spatula. Place back in freezer for another 15 minutes.

Melt the remaining chocolate and stir in the remaining Oreo cookies using the same method as before. Spread this evenly on top of the chilling filling layer. Place back in the freezer for another 10-15 minutes until top layer of chocolate is set.

Keep frozen or refrigerate until ready to serve.
