What goes into this recipe
- Chocolate Cake Mix: Using a box mix makes the cake come together quickly and easily.
- Chocolate Pudding Mix: Adds moisture to the chocolate oreo bundt cake.

Recipe Variations:

Pudding: There are several different chocolate flavored pudding mixes. White chocolate pudding mix would be really fun. I use it in this White Chocolate and Raspberry Bundt Cake recipe.
Chocolate Chips: For even more rich chocolate flavor, add a cup of milk chocolate or white chocolate chips to the batter of this easy Oreo cake recipe.
Chocolate Ganache: Instead of adding a cream cheese glaze, try using a rich chocolate ganache. I use it on these Mini Bundts.

How to make an Oreo Bundt Cake
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together chocolate cake mix, chocolate pudding mix, and black cocoa powder.
- Add eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and sour cream. Mix with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Stir in the chopped Oreos.
- Spray a bundt cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spread it evenly, and place 10 whole Oreo Cookies on top. Add the remaining chocolate mixture to cover.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs. For best results, cool the Oreo pound cake in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then invert it onto a cake platter and let it cool completely (about 45 minutes).
- In a medium bowl, mix softened butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Microwave for 10-15 seconds for a glaze consistency. Stir in Oreo cookie crumbs. This cookies and cream frosting would also be a wonderful addition.
- Spoon the glaze over the cooled cake, spreading it out. Top with additional crushed Oreo cookies for the final touch on your delicious cake.
Expert Tips
- To make the Oreo cookie crumbs, you can chop them, or the easy way to do it is to pulse them a few times in a food processor. The key is to have a coarse crumb texture.
- Don’t skip whisking {or sifting} the dry ingredients. It will help to give you a smoother batter.
- Add a double layer of Oreo cookies for an extra special middle of the cake. There is no such thing as too many cookies.
- Spray the bundt pan right before adding the cake batter. If you do this step too soon the spray will pool in the bottom of the pan.
- Be sure that the cake is completely cooled before adding the glaze. If you try to add it too soon it will melt into the cake.
Storing and Freezing
Store: To store the Oreo Bundt Cake in the refrigerator, place any leftovers in an airtight container {I love this Bundt Keeper}. Ensure it’s well-sealed to maintain freshness. The cake can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
Freeze: For freezing, wrap the cake securely in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Alternatively, you can use an airtight container suitable for freezing. Label with the date for reference. The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw the cake in the refrigerator before serving.
Recipe FAQ’s
Yes, you can substitute regular cocoa powder, but keep in mind that it might alter the color and flavor slightly.
Absolutely, the glaze is optional. The cake is still delicious on its own, or you can explore other glaze options.
You can also use store bought frosting as a glaze. See all of the details in this Black Bottom Bundt Cake.
You can use melted butter or a neutral oil like canola or sunflower oil as a substitute for vegetable oil.
Adjust the glaze consistency by adding more powdered sugar if it’s too runny or more milk if it’s too thick.
