Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer

  • 24 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

Pudding Mixture

  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

Cake Layer

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Topping

  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until the pudding thickens, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Layer the Oreos: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, evenly spread the roughly chopped Oreo cookies as the base layer.
  3. Add the pudding layer: Pour the prepared chocolate pudding evenly over the Oreo cookie layer and spread gently with a spatula to cover completely.
  4. Sprinkle the cake mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix over the pudding layer. Do not mix.
  5. Drizzle melted butter: Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the cake mix to ensure it will moisten and create a moist cake layer while baking.
  6. Bake the cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the dish in the center of the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden and the cake mix is fully cooked.
  7. Cool and top: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Once cool, spread the whipped topping evenly over the entire cake surface.
  8. Garnish: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the whipped topping for extra texture and chocolate flavor.
  9. Serve: Cut into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the pudding is fully set before layering to prevent mixing with the Oreo cookies.
  • Do not stir the cake mix layer once on top; it is intended to bake over the pudding creating a moist cake texture.
  • Use a 9×13 inch baking dish for best results.
  • For extra richness, add a handful of chopped nuts or drizzle chocolate syrup on top before serving.
  • This cake can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
