There’s way too much to love with this Ultimate Oreo Poke Cake. The chocolate cake is loaded with Oreos, it’s soaked in chocolate pudding and topped with an Oreo whipped cream.

Pin this for later!

I need to rant to you guys a minute, and it has no relation to this recipe, so feel free to just skip past this part of if you want. Wait, what? You mean you aren’t here to listen to me rant?

They are currently painting our condo complex and it is driving me NUTS. This week I happen to be home and around the house all day and my windows, my front door and my driveway are all taped up and shut. I ran out to Target for a few minutes and when I came back, I couldn’t get back in the front door, they had to a cut a hole for me to get through. Did I mention it’s been this way for 3 days now?

The past two nights have been really hot inside the house, it’s like the plastic is keeping the heat in, and this girl can’t stop baking over here. So at last I am stuck inside my house with my hot oven complaining to myself all day. How else would I be able to make this Oreo Poke Cake for you? Tragic right?

There are two things my ~~boyfriend~~ fiance loves: chocolate cake and Oreos. So naturally I was excited for him to try this dessert. He ate 3 slices- for breakfast! That’s how good this is. He would probably be embarrassed that I told you that. Oops. He doesn’t love whipped cream, but he loved that I mixed the Oreos into the whipped cream. He told me if reminds him of a ho-ho. That sounds like a win if I have ever heard one.

This recipe starts with my favorite doctored chocolate cake mix recipe, which is from The Cake Mix Doctor. I crushed up some Oreos on top of the cake and tossed it in the oven. I threw a handful of Oreos in a plastic bag and beat them with a rolling pin to break them apart, nothing fancy. The Oreos didn’t sink to the bottom either, and they softened up quite a bit once the cake was baked.

For the filling, I soaked this cake in hot fudge sauce and chocolate pudding, the more chocolate the better right? Just heat the hot fudge until it’s pourable and reserve a couple of tablespoons to drizzle over top.

For the topping, I used a container of Cool Whip, just for the purposes of ease, but you can very well make your own homemade whipped cream. Just use 1 ½ cups of heavy whipping cream and add ¾ cup powdered sugar. The powdered sugar is a thickening agent that will help to stabilize the whipped cream. Then I just took some more crushed Oreos and fold them into the Cool Whip.

Once this cake is refrigerated for a couple of hours, I served it up with some more crushed Oreos on top and I drizzled it with hot fudge sauce. You guys, there are so much Oreos and chocolate in this poke cake, it’s bananas, in the best way possible.

The funny thing is, I bought this cake to work and we were out of forks, so my coworkers just started digging in with their hands. HA! You would too if this was sitting in front of you. Just do it.
