• Topping

Step-by-Step Instructions 5

1. Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Combine cake mix and butter

In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix and melted butter. Stir until mixed.

3. Layer Oreos

Crush the Oreo cookies and layer half of them in a greased baking dish.

4. Add cake mix

Pour the cake mix over the Oreos.

5. Make pudding layer

In another bowl, whisk together the milk and chocolate pudding mix until thick. Pour over the cake mix.

6. Top and bake

Top with the remaining crushed Oreos. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30–35 minutes, or until the top is set. Allow to cool slightly, then serve warm topped with whipped cream.

Serving Suggestions Oreo Dump Cake

• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and extra whipped cream.
• Dust with cocoa powder or drizzle chocolate sauce for a fancier look.
• Pair with coffee or a cold glass of milk for a classic combo.
• Cut into squares and serve alongside fresh berries or mint sprigs.
• Include with a brunch spread featuring treats like blueberry cake donuts for variety.

Tips for Success Oreo Dump Cake

• Use room-temperature melted butter so it mixes evenly into the dry cake mix.
• Don’t overbake; stop when the top is set but still slightly gooey for best texture.
• Crush Oreos coarsely for a mix of crunch and soft pockets throughout.
• Let it rest 10–15 minutes after baking so slices hold together better.
• Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently.

Variations

Here are a few easy ways to change it up:

• Peanut butter swirl: drop spoonfuls of peanut butter over the pudding layer before baking.
• Mint twist: use mint Oreos and top with a few drops of peppermint extract for a refreshing flavor.
• Dairy-free option: substitute dairy-free milk, dairy-free pudding mix, and coconut whipped topping.
