Ingredients
Scale
Base Layer
- 25 Oreo cookies
Wet Ingredients
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 8 ounce whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed but not frozen
- ½ cup sweet salted butter, sliced
Dry Ingredients
- 15¼ ounce chocolate cake mix
- 8 additional Oreos, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the dump cake evenly.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Layer Oreos: Arrange 25 Oreo cookies in a single layer covering the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Evenly pour the 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk over the Oreo cookies, ensuring good coverage to bind the base.
- Spread Whipped Topping: Spread the 8 ounces of whipped topping evenly over the cookie and milk layer, creating a creamy middle layer.
- Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry 15¼-ounce chocolate cake mix over the whipped topping layer for a chocolate crumb topping.
- Add Butter Slices: Arrange slices of the ½ cup sweet salted butter evenly over the dry cake mix to help it melt and create a tender crust while baking.
- Top with Chopped Oreos: Chop 8 Oreos into pieces and sprinkle them over the top for added texture and flavor.
- Bake: Bake the assembled cake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cake mix is cooked through and golden at the edges.
- Serve: Serve the dump cake warm, optionally topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Use full-sized Oreos for best texture and flavor.
- Do not freeze the whipped topping before using to ensure easy spreading.
- If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk slightly.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving to help it set.
- This dessert can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
