The cake has three visible yellow sponge layers with dark chocolate cookie chunks embedded throughout. Between each sponge layer is a thick creamy beige frosting with a light, smooth texture.

Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix

1 cup sour cream

3/4 cup vegetable oil

4 large eggs

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

10 Oreo cookies, crushed

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

5 Oreo cookies, crushed (for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or cake pan to ensure easy removal later.

Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, and eggs. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to blend until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Step 3: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon to create the sweet filling.

Step 4: Pour half of the batter into the greased baking dish. Sprinkle half of the sugar-cinnamon mixture and half of the crushed Oreos evenly over the batter.

Step 5: Add the remaining cake batter on top, smoothing it out gently. Sprinkle the rest of the sugar-cinnamon mixture and crushed Oreos over the top.

Step 6: Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Allow the cake to cool completely before icing.

Step 8: For the icing, beat the cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.

Step 9: Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, mixing until fluffy. Gently fold in the remaining crushed Oreos.

Step 10: Once the cake has cooled, spread the icing evenly over the top. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Use full-fat sour cream for extra moisture and richness in the cake.

For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped toasted pecans or walnuts along with the Oreos.

Substitute vanilla cake mix if you prefer a slightly different base flavor.

Chill the cream cheese and butter before mixing the icing to achieve a smoother texture.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Oreos?

Yes, chocolate sandwich cookies or similar crunchy cookies work well. Keep in mind flavor and texture will vary slightly.

Is it possible to make this cake from scratch without a cake mix?

Absolutely. Use a homemade yellow cake recipe and follow the layering and mixing steps as described for similar results.
