Chocolate Oreo Cream Cake
• 1 pkg chocolate cake mix (I used triple chocolate)
• ingredients need to make the cake on the back of the box
Filling:
• 8 oz. reduced fat cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 cups Cool whip (I used the extra creamy kind)
• 12 oreo cookies, coarsely crushed
Frosting:
• 1/3 cup plus 1 Tbsp. cocoa powder
• 6 Tbsp. butter, softened
• 4 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 5 to 6 Tbsp milk or more if needed
1. Prepare cake mix according to package directions for 2 9-inch round cakes. Cook Cake according to the package. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and remove from the pan. then allow cake to cool completely.
2. Once cakes are completely cooled, prepare the filling by beating the cream cheese and sugar together with a hand mixer until well blended. Fold in the cool whip until almost blended then fold in the crushed oreos.
3. In another bowl, make the frosting by whisking together the cocoa powder and powdered sugar. Then add the butter, vanilla, and milk. Blend with a mixture until smooth. Add additional milk if needed to make the frosting spreadable.
4. Now it’s time to assemble the cake. With a serrated knife, cut off the domed top of each of the rounds to make the cake even and level. Save the parts you cut off for another use. Place one round on your serving platter or cake plate. Top with half of the filling mixture and spread evenly. Top with the other cake round.
5. Now use the reaming filling to fill in the center filling section of the cake so that the filling layer is completely even with the cake layers. You may not need all of the filling. Then cover the top and sides of the cake with the chocolate frosting. You may have some leftover frosting.
NOTE: This is what I did with the left over filling and cake.
I mixed them and a bowl and made cake balls and put them on top of the cake.
