This is my kids’ favorite cake – Giant Oreo Cookie Cake! It’s so fun and easy to make and it’s the kind of Oreos you can share with everyone!
Since we are having a little celebration at home for my kids’ birthdays (William – Oct. 28 and Sophie – Oct. 25), I thought I’d make a quick post of one of their favorite cakes. I normally like to bake from scratch but this cute cake is a great exception to the general rule.
I like to make it once in a while ’cause it’s so easy and has always received rave reviews whenever and wherever served. That explains why it has been pinned on Pinterest for over 470K already!
I followed the recipe to the letter pretty much though I noted the particular brand that I use when I make this. Yummy!
Without much ado, it is one of the most popular cakes on the web – here’s the Kraft Chocolate-Covered Oreo Cake, aka – The Giant Oreo Cake!

INGREDIENTS for Giant Oreo Cookie Cake
- 1 pkg. (2-layer size) devil’s food cake mix (Duncan Hines)
- 4 squares Baking Chocolate, Semi-Sweet (Ghirardelli)
- 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick butter)
- 1 pkg (8 oz) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 cups thawed Cool Whip Topping
- 12 Oreo Cookies, coarsely crushed
HOW TO MAKE Giant Oreo Cookie Cake
Heat oven to 350ºF.
Prepare cake batter and bake in 2 (9-inch) round pans as directed on the package. Cool cakes in pans for 10 min. Invert onto wire racks; gently remove pans. Cool cakes completely.
Microwave the chocolate and butter in a small microwaveable bowl on HIGH for 2 minutes or until the butter is melted. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Alternatively, simply melt the chocolate and butter on low heat on the stovetop. Cool for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer until blended. Gently stir in cool whip and crushed cookies.
Place 1 cake layer on a plate (slice off a portion of the top, if needed, to make the cake even), and spread with cream cheese mixture. Top with the remaining cake layer. Spread the top with chocolate glaze; let stand 10 min. or until firm. Keep refrigerated.
Isn’t the cake gorgeous? Yes!!!

Oh men, this looks divine!

So easy to do! You should try it! 🙂
I'm a from scratch baker as well but also a firm believer in having lots of good recipes like this one on hand. Out of the boxed mixes, the Devil's Food is the best. This cake looks amazing Abby! I know all of my boys would love it!
I agree Valerie, good to have a quick and handy mix recipe such as this for certain times. Am sure your boys would love this! Thanks for stopping by!
Another fabulous creation! I'd like a jug of milk with that giant cookie please….
Great idea Abby!
Love that you said, Jug of milk, Jen! LOL! Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks again for sharing it with us! It looks SO SO SO yummy!
Thanks, Heather! Glad you like it! Thanks for stopping by.
This is pretty brilliant 🙂
Yes, kids love them! Thanks for stopping by!
If I served this giant Oreo along with my Giant Chipwich, my kids would be in cookie-cake heaven! Love it, Abby, and will share on my page soon!
Thanks, Ann! I will be in Cookie-Cake heaven too if I had both! Glad you stopped by.
Oh my! This is dangerous, I might eat the whole thing myself. Looks soooo yummy!
It is quite more-ish I must say but better shared with family and friends. Thanks.
Just made this for church in the morning the only thing was I didn't taste the glaze before I put it on the cake and it wasn't quite sweet enough for me wish I would have I would've added a splash of vanilla and powdered sugar to make just a little sweeter:)
You can do so for next time. I don't like anything too sweet so this is just right up my alley.
Wow, what a great idea. And there will lots of leftover Oreos too =)

Please enjoy Marlene!
I have made this quite a few times and it is delicious!! Rave reviews from all! Even easier – I use a can of prepared fudge frosting, microwave til soft, and pour over cake, It drizzles down the sides for a cool effect!
Glad to know you love this!!! And thanks for the great tip, too!
Anyone tried it with mint Oreos?
