If you love Oreo cookies (and who doesn't?), you'll love this cake. I've made this many times for more than 15 years, because it's always been a crowd pleaser. I make it as a layer cake, using 2 eggs rather than 3 egg whites--this makes for a more moist cake, and there's no waste of yolks. I cover the sides of the cake completely with additional crushed Oreos and stand more cookies, cut in half, upright along the top edge. I make the frosting a little differently, mostly to ensure an ample amount for a layer cake: 4 c. powdered sugar, 1/2 c. shortening, 1/4 c. vanilla and 1 tsp. vanilla. This is a great go-to recipe when you need a cake that's beautiful, easy, and delicious!

So moist!! I made this for my fiance's grandmother's 90th birthday!! Everyone loved it. I did not change a thing except I used mini chocolate sandwich cookies from the bag, I crushed up one bag in the batter and the other bag I lined the top of the cake with and shaped into a 9 and 0 for her birthday. Turned out gorgeous, great on presentation and taste!

This cake was very tender and yummy! I made it for my son's birthday and everyone complimented it. I didn't use the frosting included in the recipe, so I can't comment on that, but the cake itself was great. The oreo lovers in my family were very happy!

I followed the recipe exactly and even baked it in the right sized pan, but it took almost an hour to finish. It was also tooo soft and crumbled toooo easy. I had to put it in the freezer for about an hour after it completely cooled and then i left it in the fridge over night. NOW i got it out this morning and it tasted pretty good. My husband enjoyed it, but to be honest i thought it would taste better.

This cake was good, it definitely tasted like a boxed cake so I didn't give it five stars, here are some suggestions: Use the parchment liners for the bottem, I didn't and I had a hard time getting it out even though it was well greased, the oreos seem to kind of stick to the bottem. My other suggestion would be to swap the egg whites with meringue powder that way it is safer. Overall a good cake though, very sweet, not low-cal at all!

This cake had no flavor, tastes just like the inside of an Oreo. Way too sweet. I was very disappointed since there were not any ratings below three stars.

This cake was just okay. Nothing special. Maybe a chocolate cake mix next time and different icing. The icing was super sweet.

It was easy to make and delicious. I was not quite sure about the frosting when I tasted it by itself, but it works very well with the cake. I will definitely make this one again!

So good. Made the recipe as written (well I added an extra cup of Oreos to the batter)and it turned out great. The icing is perfect for the cake and super easy to make. Thanks so much for a simple yet special recipe.

I attempted to make this for my boyfriends birthday. I found the recipe very easy, but when it finished baking and I took them out of the pans, the second layer fell apart. So, he ended up with a one layer cake but he loved it because it was so delicious. This is probably the best tasting cake I have ever had. We tried this icing recipe but it wasn't working out at all so we ended up using the recipe on the back of the powdered sugar box and it tasted great. Definitely try this!

This cake turned out good. I made it in a sheet cake pan(9 x 13 x 2).I added 2 cups of crushed oreos to the batter and it was good. I made the frosting and it did taste just like the frosting in the center of the oreo cookies. I also crushed the remainder of the bag of cookies and sprinkled on top of the frosting. I served it with vanilla ice cream and then wished I had bought the cookies and cream ice cream. The cake did not last, as every one said it was great. Thanks for a keeper. Gail

I liked this cake a lot, and it was easy to make. The icing was pretty good, tasted just like oreos' cream filling, which does make sense. It was also very sweet, so I always ate small pieces.

My first ever layer cake and it was a mega-hit! I made this for my son's birthday and it didn't last very long. I made a few changes by using chocolate fudge cake mix and adding an extra 1/2cp of cookies to the mix. Also, I made some oreo pudding that I used in between the layers instead of frosting. After I frosted the cake, I pressed oreos into the side of the cake all around and made an oreo M(1st letter of his name) on top and added colorful sprinkles. Everyone loved it. Thanks!
