A Rich, Chocolatey, and Decadent Delight
This Oreo Earthquake Cake is an irresistible, gooey, and chocolate-filled cake that combines the crunch of Oreos with a rich, creamy center. It’s a dessert that’s as fun to make as it is to eat, with a texture that’s both cakey and fudgy!
Ingredients
-
1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients to make the cake)
-
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup butter, melted
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
½ cup sour cream
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
15–20 Oreo cookies, broken into chunks
-
1 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolatey goodness)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package instructions and pour into the prepared baking dish.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, melted butter, powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter. Gently swirl it into the batter using a knife (do not fully mix).
-
Sprinkle broken Oreo chunks evenly over the top of the cake.
-
Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top for extra chocolatey goodness.
-
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the cake is set around the edges but slightly gooey in the middle.
-
Let cool before serving.
Notes
-
The cake will have a “lava-like” effect, with gooey pockets of cream cheese and chocolate.
-
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
-
For a twist, add peanut butter chips or crushed nuts along with the Oreos.
