If you’re an Oreo fan, you’ll DEVOUR this cake. It has a few different steps and layers, but they’re all easy! I started with a cookies n cream cake base and has layers of chocolate mousse, Oreo crunch, and a sweet and tasty cookies n cream frosting. I’ll give you a few ideas on how to simplify this as well!
I wish I would have gotten more pictures of this cake because it turned out even better than I thought. My goal was to create an Oreo cake that had a variety of texture. I traditionally do cookies n cream cake and buttercream, but I wanted more fillings. I added in the chocolate “mousse” and crunch which went perfectly together.
This isn’t the type of cake that has to be “smooth” on the outside. The Oreo bits have a texture, so spread it with a spatula and cut a slice! I personally don’t think cakes have to look over the top on the perfection scale. No one really cares, they just want to eat it.
Two words- mint Oreos. I think a mint chocolate version would be absolutely outstanding. And they always have ten thousand limited edition flavors, why not get creative with each one?

If you’d like to simplify this, bake the cake in 2- 8″ cake pans instead. Once cooled, spread a layer of frosting on the first cake layer. Create a frosting border on top. Basically add a thick border of frosting on the outside border of the cake so that the filling doesn’t come out. If you don’t have piping bags, you can use a plastic bag! It doesn’t have to be pretty it’s just securing the filling.
Add the mousse and crunch and top it with the other layer. Flip it so that the smooth side is on top. Add a coat of frosting on the outside and you’re done!
You’ll probably need less frosting for the second option. 2 sticks of butter, 4 cups of powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 4-5 tbsp heavy cream, 1/2 cup Oreo crumbs.
Special note- I always refrigerate my cake in between each step. I live in Florida so it gets hot!!
