This Oreo poke cake is a heavenly dessert that combines a chocolate fudge cake with an Oreo cookies ‘n creme pudding layer, delivering a blend of rich chocolate and cookie flavors.
Topped with fluffy white frosting and scattered Oreo cookies, it’s a treat for chocolate and cookie lovers alike.
You’ll need:
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box of chocolate fudge cake mix, prepared as directed on the box
- 1 (4.2-ounce) box of Oreo cookies ‘n creme instant pudding mix
- 2¼ cups of cold whole milk

Substitutions And Additions
CAKE MIX: You can substitute any chocolate cake flavors for the chocolate fudge boxed cake mix in this easy Oreo poke cake recipe.
TOPPING: Add a sprinkle of chocolate chips along with the Oreos on top of this delicious dessert for even more decadence.
OREO COOKIES: If you’re looking to switch up the classic Oreo flavor, consider experimenting with different Oreo cookie varieties.
Mint, peanut butter, or even red velvet Oreos can add unique twists to your poke cake, providing a burst of different flavors while maintaining the same chocolatey goodness.
Just keep in mind that the texture and sweetness level may vary slightly, so adjust your sugar accordingly if needed.
WHIPPED FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING: To add a personal touch to your poke cake, you can make your own frosting from scratch.
A homemade cream cheese frosting, chocolate ganache, or even a whipped coconut cream can take your dessert to the next level.
These alternatives bring their unique textures and flavors to the table, allowing you to tailor the sweetness and richness to your liking.
How To Make This Oreo Poke Cake Recipe
Once you bake the easy boxed cake, you will poke holes all over your cake. Infuse your cake with the pudding by pouring the mixture into the holes before topping the cake with frosting.
STEP ONE: Bake the cake according to the package directions on the back of the box. Once the cake has finished baking, allow it to cool for 15 minutes.
STEP TWO: Using a wooden spoon handle, poke holes into the baked cake. Space the holes about one inch apart over the entire cake.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
It’s best to make the holes in the cake while it is still slightly warm because as it cools, the crust on top of the cake will crumble more easily.
STEP THREE: Add the pudding mix to a medium bowl. Whisk in the cold milk, and continue to mix just until the pudding begins to thicken.
PRO TIP:
When mixing the pudding, be sure to stop mixing as soon as the pudding begins to thicken. The thicker the pudding is, the harder it will be to pour into the holes of the cake.
STEP FOUR: Quickly spoon the pudding into the individual holes of the warm cake until they are filled.
Once the holes are filled, spread the remaining pudding on top of the cake. Chill in the refrigerator for two hours.
PRO TIP:
A candy drizzling scoop works really well for pouring the pudding into the holes.
STEP FIVE: Transfer the whipped frosting to a heat-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for ten seconds. Stir the frosting.
Using a silicone spatula or an offset spatula, spread over the pudding layer.
STEP SIX: Just before serving, break the Oreo cookies in half and then half the halves.
Sprinkle the broken cookies over the frosted cake. Slice into squares and serve.
