How to Serve Oreo Cake
Cut the cake into slices and serve it on a dessert plate. You can put extra crushed Oreos on the side for those who want to add more cookie crunch. This cake tastes great with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
How to Store Oreo Cake
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 4-5 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze the cake for up to 2 months. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil before freezing.
Tips to Make Oreo Cake
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened before beating it. This makes mixing easier and gives the frosting a smooth texture.
- You can customize the cake by adding more crushed Oreos or using a different flavor of cake mix.
- For a fun presentation, place whole Oreos on top of the cake before serving.
Variation
You can also try using chocolate cake mix instead of yellow cake mix for a different flavor. Another variation is to add layers of chocolate ganache or pudding between the cake layers for extra richness.
