Ingredients
  

For the Cake:
  • 15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix (1 box, approximately 432 grams)
  • 1 cup water (approximately 284 grams)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (approximately 67 grams)
  • 3 large eggs (approximately 150 grams)
For the Pudding:
  • 8.4 ounces instant Oreo pudding mix (2 boxes, each 4.2 ounces, approximately 238 grams)
  • 3 cups milk (at least 2%, approximately 681 grams)
For the Topping:
  • 8 ounces whipped topping (thawed, such as Cool Whip, approximately 227 grams)
  • 14.3 ounces Oreo cookies (1 package, approximately 405 grams, half crushed and half left whole)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Toothpick or Skewer
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Cake
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until well combined and smooth.
  2. Step 2: Bake the Cake
    Pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Poke Holes
    Once the cake has cooled slightly, use a toothpick or skewer to poke holes all over the surface of the cake, about 1 inch apart.
  4. Step 4: Prepare the Pudding
    In a large bowl, whisk together the instant Oreo pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Step 5: Fill the Cake
    Pour the prepared pudding mixture evenly over the poked cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
  6. Step 6: Add Oreos
    Sprinkle half of the crushed Oreo cookies over the pudding layer. Gently press them down to ensure they stick.
  7. Step 7: Add Whipped Topping
    Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
  8. Step 8: Top with Oreos
    Finish by sprinkling the remaining crushed Oreo cookies on top, and add the whole Oreo cookies as a decorative touch.
  9. Step 9: Chill
    Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the cake to set properly.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the chilling step! This allows the pudding to set and enhances the overall texture.
  • Use room temperature eggs and milk for a smoother batter.
  • Be careful with the poking; too many holes may cause the cake to crumble.
  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before adding the pudding to prevent it from melting.
