Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the Pillsbury Plus cake mix with water, oil, and eggs or egg whites according to package directions, then fold in the coarsely crushed Oreo cookies.
- Pour the batter into greased and floured 9 x 13-inch pans or divide into layers.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes before removing or frosting.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting some of the water with milk. You can also use vegetable oil instead of canola oil for a different taste. If you don’t have Oreo cookies, any chocolate sandwich cookie can work well. Make sure to fold the crushed cookies gently into the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
Serving Suggestions
This cake pairs beautifully with Mocha Frosting for a delightful chocolate experience. Serve it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. It also goes well with a side of fresh fruit like strawberries or raspberries to balance the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Once cooled, store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to a week. To reheat, simply warm individual slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until slightly warm, which enhances the flavors.
