Ingredients

• 1 package (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
• 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies, crushed
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9×13-inch baking dish and spray it with a bit of nonstick spray. This will ensure your Oreo Dump Cake comes out effortlessly.

Step 2:

In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and milk. Mix until just combined, don’t worry if there are some lumps; that’s okay.

Step 3:

Spread half of the crushed Oreos at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the cake batter over the top, spreading it evenly.

Step 4:

In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Spoon dollops of this mixture over the cake batter.

Step 5:

Finally, sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos evenly on top. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6:

Once out of the oven, let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Trust me, it’ll be hard to resist digging in right away.

Healthier Alternatives

Want to make your dessert a little lighter? You can try swapping out the regular cake mix for a sugar-free version. You could also substitute Greek yogurt for the cream cheese for a tangy twist and added protein. And of course, using whole wheat flour can add a little fiber without sacrificing flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your Oreo Dump Cake warm, topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Seriously, who could say no to that? Or if you’re feeling adventurous, try it with some homemade whipped cream. Pair it with a slice of my delicious Oreo Cherry Cheesecake for an ultimate dessert experience.

Common Mistakes

One common misstep is not properly greasing your baking dish. This can make it tricky to serve. Also, be careful not to over-mix the batter; a few lumps are just fine. And remember, every oven is different, so keep an eye on your cake as it bakes.
