Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup crushed Oreos
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and water. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the batter is smooth and well incorporated, with no visible lumps.
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies into the cake batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a uniform surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake - it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan for about 45 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature.
- Once cooled, spread marshmallow fluff evenly across the top of the cake using a spatula.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the marshmallow fluff layer, creating a delightful chocolate accent.
- Pipe or spread whipped cream around the edges or on top of the cake for an additional decorative touch.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow the toppings to set and flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, cut into 12 equal squares and optionally garnish with additional crushed Oreos or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Tips
- Room Temperature Matters: Ensure all your ingredients (eggs, oil) are at room temperature for the smoothest cake batter possible.
- Don't Overmix: When combining cake ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Crush Oreos Carefully: For the best texture, crush Oreos into varied sizes - some fine crumbs and some small chunks for added interest.
- Check Cake Doneness Precisely: Use the toothpick test, but remove the cake when it has just a few moist crumbs to prevent overcooking.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the cake to cool completely before adding toppings to prevent melting and ensure perfect layering.
- Marshmallow Fluff Tip: For easier spreading, warm the marshmallow fluff slightly or use an offset spatula dipped in hot water.
- Whipped Cream Hack: For the most stable whipped cream, chill your mixing bowl and whisk beforehand.
- Make Ahead Friendly: This cake actually tastes even better the next day after the flavors have melded together in the refrigerator.
- Storage Advice: Keep the cake refrigerated and covered, and it will stay fresh for up to 4-5 days.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the cake sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly and enhance flavors.
