My Grandson Johnathan asked for a Oreo Cake for his eighth birthday. This is what he got. It sure was good and it was beautiful. It was even better than I thought it would be.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

CAKE
1 box 18 oz. yellow butter cake mix
3 large eggs
1 stick real butter, softened
1 c whole milk
2 tsp real vanilla extract
1 bag(s) oreo chocolate cookies
FROSTING
1 large cool whip, thawed
1 stick real butter, melted and cooled
2 tsp real vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. CAKE: Preheat your oven to 350*.
  • 2. Prepare 2 greased and floured 9" cake pans.
  • 3. Mix cake per directions on box using all ingredients listed under Cake.. except the Oreos.
  • 4. Divide the batter evenly between the pans.Bake for approximately 25- 28 minutes or done.
  • 5. Cool on rack till completely cool so it won't melt your Cool Whip.
  • 6. FROSTING: Melt and cool the stick of butter.
  • 7. Add Vanilla to cooled butter and stir in Cool Whip. The butter will thicken the mixture to Frosting consistency. Set it aside.
  • 8. In a separate bowl break up enough of the Oreo cookies to spread between your cake layers. Make them pretty big pieces. I used 10 cookies. Use the whole cookie. Filling and all. Set it aside.
  • 9. In another bowl. Use the whole cookie, filling and all. Blend or process 6-8 cookies to crumbs so you can decorate the sides of your frosted cake. It won't take a lot. Set it aside.
  • 10. TO ASSEMBLE THE CAKE: Place 1 cake layer on the serving plate and spread with a large dollop of the cool whip Frosting. Use plenty and sprinkle broken cookie pieces on top of the cool whip.
  • 11. Add the top layer and frost top and sides with the remaining cool whip frosting. Save enough to fill a small piping bag if you are going to decorate the top with rosettes.
  • 12. I used a # 32 Wilton star tip on my bag.
  • 13. I cut cookies in half to decorate the top of cake. To keep them from breaking so badly I separated each cookie and cut them in half with a very sharp knife. Then put the halves back together and stuck each half in a rosette of frosting.
  • 14. Hold the plate at an angle over the container of crumbs and sprinkle as much as you want on sides of cake.
