Description
A decadent chocolate cake layered with crushed Oreos and topped with chocolate chips, perfect for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 20 Oreo cookies, roughly crushed
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: 8 Oreo cookies, crushed; whipped cream; chocolate syrup; vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with the cold milk for about 2 minutes, until it begins to thicken.
- Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spread the crushed Oreo cookies evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the chocolate pudding mixture over the Oreo layer and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding. Do not prepare the cake mix according to the box directions.
- Slowly drizzle the melted butter over the dry cake mix, covering as much of the surface as possible. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, until the top looks set and the edges are bubbling. Some areas may remain soft and fudgy.
- Let the cake rest for 15–20 minutes before serving so the layers can settle.
- Sprinkle with additional crushed Oreos and serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate cake mix.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- This cake can be served warm or cold.
