Table of Contents
Our Oreo pound cake recipe is a delightful twist on a classic, marrying the creamy, chocolatey goodness of Oreos with the rich, buttery texture of pound cake. It’s a match made in dessert heaven.

Oreo Pound Cake Ingredients

The white cake mix serves as the base of our cake, providing a light, fluffy texture that perfectly complements the rich Oreos. It’s a convenient and reliable choice for a moist and delicious cake.
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.
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
CAKE MIX: If you prefer a different flavor profile for this great recipe, you can substitute the white cake mix with yellow cake mix. It will still provide a moist and fluffy base for your cake.
OREO COOKIES: If you want to experiment, consider using flavored Oreos such as mint or peanut butter for a unique twist.
EGG WHITES: If you don’t have egg whites, you can substitute them with 3 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.
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.

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.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Oven temperatures 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 8 to 12 slices, depending on how big you want your serving size.
