I made this cake for my best friend, who loves Oreos. It was a pretty cake and it was delicious. I think I used more Oreos than the recipe called for. I also used Double-Stuf Oreos. One thing about this cake: it is better the day after because the frosting sets. So, if you're making this for a party (I'm planning on making it for my husband's birthday), then make it the day before.

This was really easy and delicious. The secret to not having a crumbling problem with this cake is to add a packet of dream whip to the batter. When it bakes it keeps it moist but makes it a little more dense. It was perfect. I aslo added 2 cups oreo crumbs. I have baked this as a layer cake and as a sheet cake and both work well. The sheet cake takes alot less work because you can just frost and go, so i usually just do that.

Used 1.5 c oreo crumbs in cake, but still didn't taste like oreos. Overall, the cake and frosting were pretty boring. I recommend using devil's food or chocolate cake mix instead of white, for a better oreo taste.

OMG, this cake was awesome....I used pillsbury moist white cake mix, and just followed the directions of the cake mix, not the egg white version. I probably added about a cup of crushed cookies. I didnt make the homeade frosting, I just used a can of whipped cream cheese frosting and crushed some cookies on top. IT WAS A BIG HIT. This will be a regular. Thanks!

good but thought the frosting was a lil to sweet. My sis suggested i frost it with whip cream so i did that instead of using the frosting.

This was great! A homemade cake probably would've been better than the boxed, but it was still really good. I did increase the amount of cookies in the cake to 1 1/2 cups. The frosting deserves an A+. It truly tastes like the inside of an oreo and was delicious!!!!

good recipe. i liked that the cookies werent crunchy and went along with the softness of the cake. Very sweet thought so wouldnt necessarily recommend for those without a sweet tooth.

Usually I don't go for doctored cake recipes. I made this cake for my in-law's father's day gathering and it was a real hit. Nice and moist, easy to put together, and delicious. A buttercream frosting goes well with it, too, if you don't like shortening based frosting. I followed the advice of one reviewer and increased the amount of crushed oreo cookies from 1 c to 1.5 cups. Rave reviews on the cake.

This cake was okay. It just wasn't what I expected. It was very crumbly and fell apart when serving. The frosting, however, was fantastic. It tasted just like the cream center of an Oreo cookie!

The recipe is wonderful!! When I bring this to the office (either in a cake or cupcake form), everyone raves over it! It looks like you spend a lot of time and energy...when really, it's just adding crushed up cookies to a pre-packaged cake mix. The crushed cookies make the cake so moist...and so delicious!

Quick and Easy Recipe. I tweaked it just a little to suit my family. Used store bought vanilla icing to speed up the process and only added the crumbs to the middle layer of the cake. Topped with an Oreo in the center and Oreos along the bottom. Daughter loved it. Will make again.

This is a great cake, very impressive-looking! I used about 3/4 EACH of cookie crumbs and larger smashed pieces. I was a bit leery about the icing but it turned out DELICIOUS! Everyone agreed that it truly tasted like an Oreo. Really, it's too bad that others have found the 1 star review "helpful" because that reviewer must have done something wrong.

Not to sound 'cliche' but this tastes soooo artificial and like boxed cake. There's really not much taste at all to this, and the icing left a strange, waxy film on the roof of my mouth. However, I did make this for the kids and they were thrilled. It did turn out pretty, especially with the crumbled cookies all over and sliced ones all around the top. It is very easy and cheap to make, a no-brainer that might be appropriate for a bake sale (because of the novelty of it) or a kids birthday party. But I would never serve to adult guests...there are way too many extraordinary boxed cake recipes from this website ("chocolate cavity maker cake" for example)that make this one look a little silly.

Good cake, great frosting!!!!! Made this dessert as the finale to a meal with friends last night. Everyone who had a piece (me, my bf and my friend's fiance) liked it. I liked the frosting much more than the cake. I decided to try out my new KitchenAid stand mixer to make this, and, by accident, I used the whisk attachment to "beat" the cake batter (oh no!!!). My finished product was more like angel food cake (good, but not what I was hoping for). As I mentioned before, the frosting is DIVINE! It really DOES taste just like Oreo cookie filling :) I think I'll make the frosting again (it will go into my "keeper" file), but instead of preparing the cake as directed, I'll prepare either a cake or individual cupcakes using devil's food cake mix as the base (no crushed cookies - kinda pointless if you are using a chocolate batter), frost with the delicious frosting and sprinkle with some finely crushed cookies. You gotta try this if for nothing else but the frosting! Thanks for sharing :)

My friends totally loved the cake! But I didn't like it too much. It is WAY too sweet for me! and my for my sister as well. I actually only used 2.5 cups of sugar not the original 3 cups but it still turned out very sweet! Hmn I think if you use a cake mix for this, you should follow the recipe on the box. Mine turned out a bit crumby (moist yes) because I think there was too much oil? ^^? Anyway it was a good cake :) It made my classmates happy^^ and I'm happy because of that (*^V^*)!.

This is a nice change of pace from the *usual* cakes (and what isn't better w/Oreos?!). I followed the recipe to a "T" for both the cake and frosting, though I did make as cupcakes, rather than as a cake. Thanks for a great recipe!

I made this for my daughter's 10 year birthday the day before Hurricane Ike blew in. I took other's advice and used 2 cups oreos in the batter and it definitely had an oreo taste to it (I might have used more than 2 cups). I could see how some would say it is too sweet, but we loved it! I am going to try it again with a chocolate cake mix.
