Servings:12.
Prep Time: About 40 Minutes, depending on the cake.
Once chilled, your Oreo poke cake is ready to serve! Simply slice the cake into squares and enjoy the moist and luscious layers of chocolate cake, creamy pudding, and delightful Oreo cookie pieces.
Step One: bake the cake.
Bake the cake in a 9x13-inch baking dish according to the directions on the packaging until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. While the cake is baking, you can prepare the pudding as directed using the cold milk. Then refrigerate the prepared pudding until your cake has fully cooled and you are ready to use it.
Step Two: poke the cake and fill the holes.
- When the cake is done baking you can remove it from the oven and let it cool for a five minutes in the baking dish.
- Using the end of a wooden spoon or your tool of choice, poke holes, about halfway deep and evenly distributed through the baked cake.
- Pour the prepared pudding over the cake so that the pudding seeps into the poke holes (you can use a rubber spatula or spoon to help guide the pudding).
- Lastly, sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies over the pudding layer, spreading the cookies as evenly as possible.
Expert Tip 👉 For a more chewy cake, you can refrigerate it for about a half hour before poking the holes in it to firm it up.
Step Three: finish making the cake
To make the frosting, beat the heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Then use a frosting spatula or similar item to top your cake with it. You can top your cake with additional cookies and toppings, such as chocolate sauce, of choice.
