Ingredients

Cake

1 box white cake mix {13.25 ounces}
1 box instant vanilla pudding mix {3.25 ounces}
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
½ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup Golden Oreo crumbs {about 12 cookies}

Cream Cheese Frosting

8 ounces cream cheese {softened}
¼ cup butter {softened}
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ½-4 cups powdered sugar
2-3 Tablespoons milk {to thin}

Topping

¾ cup Golden Oreo crumbs {about 12 cookies}
12 Golden Oreo Cookies {optional}

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Cake

Combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, milk and oil in a large bowl and combine using an electric mixer {or by hand}. Mix until all of the ingredients are nicely incorporated and the batter is thick. Add the Golden Oreo Crumbs and mix until they are evenly distributed. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread out into an even layer.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out with a few crumbs {but no raw batter}. Remove from the oven and cool completely.

Cream Cheese Frosting

For the cream cheese frosting, combine the softened cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with a hand held mixer until creamy and smooth. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and continue to mix until you have a spreadable consistency. Add enough milk to get the consistency you want.

Assembly

Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the frosting on top of the cake and spread out into an even layer. Top with Golden Oreo crumbs and whole Golden Oreos and serve. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days.

Notes

Be sure to use instant pudding mix, not cook-and-serve.

Let chilled leftovers come to room temperature before serving for the best taste and texture.
