Oreo Pound Cake Ingredients

Oreo Pound Cake raw ingredients that are labeled

The white cake mix serves as the base of our cake, providing a light, fluffy texture that perfectly complements the rich chunks of Oreos.

Of course, the Oreo cookies are the star of our recipe and bring a crunch and a unique blend of cream and cocoa flavor that makes this pound cake truly special.

And to top it all off, the luscious chocolate ganache adds a layer of decadence to our cake.

The end result will definitely become a personal favorite after just one bite!

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 (15.25-ounce) box of white cake mix
1¼ cups of water
½ cup of vegetable oil
4 large egg whites, room temperature
24 broken Oreo cookies (plus 4-6 halved cookies for optional garnish)
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup of heavy cream
2¼ cups of powdered sugar, sifted
3 tablespoons of half and half
1 teaspoon of clear vanilla flavoring

Substitutions And Additions for Oreo Pound Cake Recipe

CAKE MIX: If you prefer a different flavor profile for this great recipe, you can substitute the white cake mix with a yellow cake mix.

It will still provide a moist and fluffy base for your cake.

CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Consider adding a cup of your favorite flavor of chips such as white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or butterscotch chips. Dark chocolate or classic milk chocolate chips would also be delicious!

OREO COOKIES: If you want to experiment, consider using flavored Oreos such as mint or peanut butter for a unique twist. Birthday cake Oreos would also be yummy!

EGG WHITES: If you don’t have egg whites, you can substitute them with three whole eggs. However, this may slightly alter the color of the cake base.

VANILLA FLAVORING: If clear vanilla flavoring is unavailable, you can substitute it with pure vanilla extract.

COCOA POWDER: Want even more flavor? You can add a quarter cup of cocoa powder to the batter to make this a chocolate Oreo bundt cake.

How To Make This Oreo Pound Cake Recipe

Creating this Oreo pound cake fills your kitchen with the irresistible aroma of baking cake and chocolate. Here’s how to bring this recipe to life:

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously spray a 12-cup bundt cake pan with baker’s spray.

STEP TWO: Add the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and egg whites to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Use an electric mixer on medium speed to mix the ingredients just until well incorporated.

You can also use a stand mixer with paddle attachment as well.

STEP THREE: Fold in the broken cookie pieces. Spoon the cake batter into the prepared bundt cake pan.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs.

Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 30 minutes.

PRO TIP: Oven temperature vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your cake as the suggested baking time approaches.

STEP FOUR: After 30 minutes, carefully invert the cake onto a cooling rack. Remove the cake pan and allow the cake to finish cooling.

PRO TIP: After baking, make sure to let the cake cool in the pan for about 30 minutes. This step is important as it prevents the cake from breaking apart when you remove it from the pan.

STEP FIVE: Once the cake has cooled, make the two frostings. Add the chocolate chips to a small heat-safe bowl.

Add the heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl or use a microwave-safe measuring cup.

I use a glass measuring cup that is microwave-safe.

STEP SIX: Heat the cream for one minute or until the cream is bubbling. Carefully remove the hot cream from the microwave.

Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips.

Allow the cream and chocolate chips to sit for 1½ to 2 minutes before stirring until the chocolate is smooth and shiny.

STEP SEVEN: Use either a drizzling spoon or a tablespoon to drizzle the chocolate over the cooled cake.

PRO TIP: You can line the wire rack with parchment paper while the cake is cooling, then move the parchment paper under the rack to catch the excess drizzles. This will help keep the “mess” to a minimum and help with cleanup.

STEP EIGHT: Add the sifted powdered sugar, half and half, and clear vanilla flavoring to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Whisk until the mixture is smooth and no lumps remain.

STEP NINE: Now drizzle the powdered sugar mixture over the top of the cake on top of the chocolate.

You can drizzle the white and chocolate in any pattern you want!

Place the halved pieces of Oreos over the different sections of the cake.

You will get eight to 12 slices, depending on how big you want your serving size.

Ingredients

15.25 ounces white cake mix (I used Pillsbury)
1¼ cups water
½ cup vegetable oil
4 large egg whites, room temperature

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup heavy cream
2 ¼ cups powdered sugar, sifted
3 tablespoons half and half

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously spray a 12-cup bundt cake pan with baker’s spray (Baker’s Joy or generic version).
Add the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and egg whites to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a handheld mixer on medium speed to mix the ingredients just until well incorporated.
Fold in the broken cookie pieces. Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, carefully invert the cake onto a cooling rack. Remove the cake pan and allow the cake to finish cooling.
