Indulge in the rich flavors of Oreo Poke Chocolate Cake, a decadent dessert featuring layers of chocolate cake infused with creamy Oreo pudding and topped with whipped cream and crushed Oreos.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (about 15.25 ounces, such as Devil’s Food flavor)
  • 1 package (3.9 ounces) dark chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 package (4.2 ounces) Oreo instant pudding mix
  • 2 cups whole milk, cold
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 Oreo cookies, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray or shortening and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, chocolate instant pudding, eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Use a handheld mixer fitted with beaters to mix until all dry ingredients are incorporated, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.
  4. Transfer the baked cake to a cooling rack and let it reach room temperature, approximately 30 minutes.
  5. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes into the cake spaced about 0.75 inch apart.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cold whole milk and Oreo pudding mix, ensuring a smooth consistency.
  7. Pour the prepared pudding over the cake, aiming to fill each hole thoroughly. Spread the pudding evenly over the surface.
  8. Place the cake in the refrigerator uncovered for 1–2 hours to allow the pudding layer to set completely.
  9. In a large bowl, combine heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Whip until stiff peaks form.
  10. Evenly distribute half of the crushed Oreo cookies over the chilled cake. Spread the whipped topping evenly and sprinkle with remaining crushed Oreos.
  11. Serve immediately or refrigerate uncovered for an additional 30-60 minutes before presentation.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat buttermilk.
  • Ensure the pudding layer is completely set before adding the whipped topping.
  • This cake can be prepared a day in advance for convenience.
