Oreo Dump Cake
🍫🍪 Oreo Dump Cake — Gooey, Chocolatey, and Dangerously Easy
The dessert that makes you the hero of every gathering… without breaking a sweat.
This Oreo Dump Cake is the kind of dessert that makes people’s eyes go wide when you set it on the table. It’s rich, gooey, and unapologetically indulgent — layers of Oreos, sweetened condensed milk, fluffy whipped topping, chocolate cake mix, and buttery goodness all baked into one pan of magic.
It’s:
- Ridiculously easy — no mixing bowls, no fancy equipment, just layer and bake.
- Crowd‑pleasing — perfect for potlucks, birthdays, or “just because” chocolate cravings.
- Customizable — swap Oreos, change the cake mix, add toppings… the possibilities are endless.

I had a ton of Oreo’s leftover from a previous cupcake recipe and I was out of eggs. I had all of these ingredients at my house and I went for it. You will not regret this cake! It’s literally the best dump cake I have ever had in my life! I ate way too much and I still don’t regret it. Bonus, a cake that doesn’t require eggs is always a win!

👩🍳 Cooking Tips for Dump Cake Success
- Even butter coverage — make sure every bit of cake mix has butter on it so it bakes evenly.
- Serve warm — the gooey factor is next‑level when it’s fresh from the oven.
- Don’t overbake — you want soft, fudgy pockets, not a dry cake.
- Crush Oreos for topping — a mix of big chunks and fine crumbs gives the best texture.
- Ice cream pairing — vanilla is classic, but cookies & cream is chef’s kiss.
💬 Reader prompt: Do you like your desserts extra gooey in the middle or with a crisp top layer?

🎨 Recipe Variations
- Mint Chocolate — use mint Oreos and add a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
- Peanut Butter Lovers — add peanut butter chips between the Cool Whip and cake mix.
- Birthday Cake — swap Oreos for Golden Oreos and use funfetti cake mix.
- Mocha Madness — add a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the cake mix.
- Berry Bliss — scatter raspberries or strawberries over the Oreos before adding condensed milk.
🧒 Kid Tips
- Let kids help arrange the Oreos — it’s like edible puzzle‑building.
- Give them the job of sprinkling crushed Oreos on top.
- Serve in clear cups so they can see all the layers.
- Keep a few plain Oreos aside for picky eaters who “don’t like cake” (we all know one).
💬 Reader prompt: Parents — do your kids eat the Oreos first or dive straight into the gooey middle?
🛒 Grocery Hacks
- Store‑brand Oreos — taste almost identical for less money.
- Cake mix sales — stock up when they’re $1 or less; they last ages.
- Butter in bulk — freezes beautifully and saves money.
- Cool Whip — buy extra and keep in the freezer for last‑minute desserts.
- Sweetened condensed milk — always have a can in the pantry; it’s dessert magic.

💬 Reader prompt: If you could only keep one dessert in your recipe box forever, would it be cake, cookies, or brownies?
Some desserts are just desserts. This Oreo Dump Cake? It’s a chocolate‑lover’s dream come true. It’s the smell of cocoa wafting through your kitchen, the sight of melted Cool Whip mingling with cake crumbs, and the joy of that first gooey bite.
I love that it’s endlessly adaptable — you can make it minty, fruity, nutty, or keep it classic. It’s forgiving, too; even if your butter slices aren’t perfectly spaced or your Oreos are a little haphazard, the end result will still be irresistible.
So here’s my challenge: make it, share it, and tag your creations with #OreoObsession so we can all drool together, swap ideas, and maybe even inspire the next great Oreo dessert trend. Because food is better when it’s shared — and this one is too good to keep to yourself.
Here’s to gooey centers, crispy edges, and the kind of desserts that make you feel like a kitchen rock star. 🍪💛
