Oreo Dump Cake is so decadent and absolutely delicious. It’s like a brownie mixed with cookies and cream. Try it today.
If you have a sweet tooth, this delicious dessert is just for you. After seeing this recipe go viral on TikTok, I knew that I had to make one for myself.
If you’ve never made a dump cake before, this easy dessert requires no mixing at all. You simply dump all of the ingredients into a baking pan and bake. How easy is that? Check out more of our Dump Cake Recipes HERE.
What is it called dump cake?
As I mentioned, this style of dessert is made by dumping the ingredients into a pan and baking without mixing.
Unlike traditional cakes that require mixing bowls and spoons, all you need to make this simple dessert is a 9 x 13 baking dish and a few basic ingredients you probably have in the kitchen already.
What does dump cake taste like?
Dump cake will take on the flavor of whatever ingredients you’re using. So, an apple dump cake will taste apples.
And, this Oreo Dump Cake tastes like chocolate Oreos.
This dessert is somewhere between a cobbler and a cake. It’s very sweet and decadent. And, a little bit goes a long way.
What do I need to make Oreo Dump cake?
You will need the following ingredients.
- One package of Oreo cookies (not double stuffed or family-sized)
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Chocolate fudge instant pudding mix
- Cream cheese
- Powdered sugar
- Whipped topping
- Devil’s food cake mix
- Unsalted butter
As an optional topping, you can also use more Oreos and vanilla ice cream.
Is this the 5-ingredient Oreo dump cake?
I’ve seen a version of this dessert that uses only 5 ingredients. Basically, it does not use the pudding mix, cream cheese, or powdered sugar.
Trust me, this version is so much better. And, it’s definitely worth adding a few extra ingredients for the final version.
Should dump cake be refrigerated?
You will want to eat this dessert warm so that it is soft and creamy. If you refrigerate it, the bottom layer of the cake begins to harden.
No worries, if it does harden, you can heat it in the microwave for a few seconds until it warms up again.
Different toppings for dump cake
Of course, this Oreo cake doesn’t need any topping at all. It’s absolutely decadent on its own straight from the oven.
But, if you do want to add a few toppings to this chocolate dump cake you can certainly do that.
- Crushed Oreo’s
- Vanilla ice cream
- Chopped nuts
- Caramel sauce
- Hot chocolate
What cake mix can I use in Oreo dump cake?
If you don’t have devil’s food cake mix, you can use a plain chocolate cake mix instead. Or, you can make it with a yellow cake mix if you want something that is less chocolatey.
Just be sure that the cake mix has the same weight so you get the same results.
What to do if your dump cake has cake mix on top after baking
If you take your dump cake out of the oven and notice that it still has cake mix powder on top, you can fix that easily.
All you need to do is to add a little bit of butter to the top and bake it for a few more minutes.
Just be sure to check it after a minute to be sure that the butter has melted into all of the areas you saw the cake mix.

Oreo Dump Cake + Video
Ingredients
- 14.3 ounces Oreo cookies, (not the double stuffed or family size)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 3.9 ounces chocolate fudge instant pudding mix
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
- 15.25 ounces devil’s food cake mix, or same amount of chocolate cake mix
- ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 tablespoon slices
Optional Toppings
- vanilla ice cream, optional
- crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9”x13” baking dish until well coated, and set aside.
- Place 24 Oreo cookies in a single layer in the bottom of the dish. Use more if needed to fully cover the bottom. Top with sweetened condensed milk.
- Sprinkle chocolate fudge pudding mix evenly over the condensed milk.
- In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until thoroughly combined. Use a silicone spatula to fold in the whipped cream until well combined. Spread mixture over the pudding mix layer.It’s ok if this mixes slightly with the layer underneath.
- Add the devil’s food cake mix next in an even layer. Do not mix.
- Top with slices of butter and bake for 40-45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cake to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm topped with scoop of ice cream and crushed Oreos, if desired.

Donna’s Notes
- To crush the cookies for additional topping, seal them in a Ziploc bag and roll a rolling pin over the bag, or pulse them in a food processor.
- You could also top the dessert with caramel for additional flavor. I wouldn’t use a lot though because this dessert is already sweet on its own.
- Once the dump cake starts to cool, the bottom of the cake begins to harden. I recommend transferring the entire cake to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for 1-3 days.
- You can reheat dump cake in the microwave on High power in 30 second intervals until it reaches the desired temperature.

Would this work using homemade whipped cream from heavy cream instead of the whipped topping?
I was wondering the same thing, I want to use unsweetened whipped cream to cut back a bit on the sugar overload and reduce the sugar in the cream cheese. Did you try it??
