Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 package (15 oz) Oreos, crushed
- 1 cup milk
Supporting Dairy Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Heat your oven to precisely 350°F and coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Scatter 1 cup of crushed Oreos evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Prepare the chocolate cake mix with 1 cup of milk, following package directions carefully.
- Gently pour the entire cake batter over the first layer of crushed Oreos.
- Blend 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1 cup of powdered sugar until completely smooth.
- Dollop small spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture randomly across the cake batter’s surface.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of crushed Oreos over the cream cheese drops.
- Drizzle ½ cup of melted unsalted butter across the entire top layer.
- Slide the dish into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 35 minutes.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean.
- Allow the cake to rest and cool completely before cutting into squares.
- Serve at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother mixing and easier spreading on the cake batter.
- Crush Oreos into different sizes for varied texture – some fine crumbs and some larger chunks create an interesting mouthfeel.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular cake mix and Oreos with their gluten-free alternatives.
- Make sure to cool the cake completely before cutting to help the cream cheese layer set and prevent crumbling.
