Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 package Oreo cookies
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups cold milk
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- Optional: whipped topping
- Optional: vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Crush 36 Oreo cookies until they form coarse crumbs. Spread 2 cups of these crumbs across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Keep ½ cup of crumbs aside for later.
- Whisk 2 ½ cups cold milk with the entire 3.9-ounce chocolate pudding mix for 2 minutes until it slightly thickens. Pour the pudding directly over the Oreo crumb layer.
- Sprinkle the entire 15.25-ounce chocolate cake mix evenly across the pudding layer. Do not mix or stir the ingredients.
- Slice 2 sticks of unsalted butter into thin pats. Distribute these butter slices carefully and uniformly across the dry cake mix surface.
- Scatter the reserved ½ cup of Oreo crumbs over the butter layer, creating a crumbly topping.
- Set your oven to 350°F. Place the unbaked cake into the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the top looks set and edges are bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the layers to settle and makes cutting easier.
- Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you desire a classic dessert finish.
Notes
- Check Oreo package sizes since different brands might impact crumb volume and cake texture.
- Break Oreos roughly instead of ultra-fine crushing to create interesting texture variations throughout the dessert.
- Watch carefully during final baking minutes to prevent burning, as butter and cake mix can brown quickly.
- For gluten-free adaptation, swap regular cake mix and Oreos with compatible alternative brands designed for restricted diets.
