Introduction

Oreo Dump Cake is a delightfully easy and indulgent dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate, whipped topping, and Oreos in one simple pan. Perfect for busy days, this no-fuss cake comes together quickly and bakes into a warm, comforting treat everyone will love.

Ingredients

• 24 Oreo cookies, divided use (6 cookies for topping)
• 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 8 ounce tub whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
• 15.25 ounce box chocolate fudge cake mix
• 1/2 cup salted butter, cold and thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
2. Step 2: Arrange Oreos in a single layer in the pan. Depending on your pan, you may use about 18 to 22 cookies.
3. Step 3: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the Oreos, then spread the thawed whipped topping on top.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the whipped topping layer.
5. Step 5: Arrange thin slices of cold butter evenly over the cake mix.
6. Step 6: Chop the remaining 6 Oreos and sprinkle them on top of the butter slices.
7. Step 7: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling. Serve warm using a large spoon, as it becomes firmer when cooled.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, add chopped nuts on top before baking.
• Use reduced-fat whipped topping to lighten the dessert slightly.
• Try swapping the chocolate cake mix for a yellow or spice cake mix for a different flavor profile.
• Make sure the butter is cold and sliced thinly to help it melt evenly.

Storage

Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave before serving to restore softness, but note the texture won’t be quite as tender as when freshly baked.

FAQs

Can I use regular cream instead of whipped topping?

Whipped topping adds both texture and sweetness to the cake, so using regular cream won’t give the same result. You can try whipped cream, but it may alter the consistency.

Is this dessert gluten-free?

This recipe is not gluten-free due to the Oreos and cake mix, which contain wheat. You could try gluten-free cake mix and Oreo alternatives if needed, but results may vary.

Instructions

1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
2. Arrange Oreos: Place Oreos in a single layer on the bottom of the pan. Use approximately 18 to 22 cookies depending on pan size for even coverage.
3. Add condensed milk and topping: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the Oreos. Then spread the thawed whipped topping smoothly over the condensed milk layer.
4. Sprinkle cake mix: Sprinkle the dry chocolate fudge cake mix evenly over the whipped topping to ensure full coverage.
5. Add butter slices: Evenly distribute cold, thinly sliced butter on top of the cake mix to help it melt down during baking, creating a moist texture.
6. Top with chopped Oreos: Chop the remaining 6 Oreo cookies and sprinkle atop the butter slices for added crunch and flavor.
7. Bake and serve: Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until edges are bubbly and cake mix looks set. Serve immediately while warm for best scooping and gooey texture, as cooling will make it firmer and harder to serve.

Notes

• Best served warm right after baking for soft, scoopable texture.
• Can vary slightly in Oreo count depending on pan size, just cover bottom layer fully.
• Use cold butter sliced thinly to ensure even melting and moisture distribution.
• Cool Whip or similar whipped topping should be fully thawed before spreading.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated but will harden; reheat gently to soften.
