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.

I made this cake for my brother-in-law who LOVES everything cookies and cream. It was a hit! Alittle messy to make, but other than that, easy to follow.

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!

My hubby loved this. It didn't last in our house very long!

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.

This cake was good. I took the suggestion of some other reviewers and added more crushed oreos to the cake mix (about 2 cups), and even then you couldn't really taste the oreos in the cake.

LOVED this cake! It was soooo easy to make too!!! The only problem I kind of had was the icing. I mixed it by hand and it didn't seem to turn out right.. and when I tried icing the cake it wouldn't stick very well.. so it wasn't too appealing to the eye (especially since it fell apart.. make sure the bottom half is level before adding the top layer) but it still tasted amazing. I'm sure if you use a electric mixer it would be smoother and easy to work with. Also if you like oreos as much as i do.. I would add more to the batter.

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. milk and 1 tsp. vanilla. This is a great go-to recipe when you need a cake that's beautiful, easy, and delicious!
