Tips and Tricks for Perfect Oreo Dump Cake
To make the perfect Oreo Dump Cake, there are a few tips and tricks that can make all the difference. Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Use a 9×13 inch baking dish: This is the perfect size for a standard Oreo Dump Cake recipe. Using a different size dish can affect the cooking time and result in an uneven cake.
- Layer the ingredients: It’s important to layer the ingredients in the correct order to ensure that the cake cooks evenly. Follow the instructions and you are guaranteed to have a delightful treat.
- Use room temperature milk: Using cold milk can cause the melted butter to solidify, resulting in a lumpy cake. Make sure to use room temperature condensed milk for best results.
- Add extra toppings: While the classic Oreo Dump Cake is delicious on its own, adding extra toppings can take it to the next level. Try adding whipped cream, chocolate chips, or caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.

Ingredients for Oreo Cake
Oreo cookies: You will need 1 package of Oreo cookies. These will be used for the cake, and the cookie crumbles on top.
Condensed milk: Use one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk for this incredibly tasty treat.
Cool whip: To add another layer of deliciousness, add in one 8-ounce sized tub of cool whip.
Marshmallow cream: Using 1 cup of marshmallow cream (or marshmallow fluff) will give this treat an amazing texture and even more great taste.
Cake mix: You want to use 1 box of chocolate cake mix, a 15.25-ounce sized box will suffice. Any brand that you love will work great.
Butter: Use 1 ½ sticks of butter so that there is plenty to top this cake with, this is equal to 12 tablespoons.
Melting chocolate (optional): I like to use these Cookies and Cream Melting Candies for added appearance and flavor. Melt it down and drizzle it on your cake before serving. Yum!
How to make an Oreo Dump Cake
Prep
Start by spraying your cake pan with non-stick cooking spray. Or if you want, you can grease it with butter for extra tastiness.
Also, get the oven preheating to 350 degrees F.
Cake assembly
Then, place a layer of whole Oreo cookies evenly on the bottom of the baking dish.
Next, pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top of the cookies.
In a separate bowl, mix the marshmallow cream and the cool whip until well combined.
Proceed to smooth the cream mixture out evenly over the top of the Oreo cookies.
After that, sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix over the cream to cover the entire surface of the baking pan.
Then, slice the butter into little pads and place them evenly over the top of the cake. I like to make mine thin enough to cover the entire surface of the cake.
Bake & Serve
Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, the top should be bubbling by the end of baking.
Top your cake with Oreo cookie crumbs and some melted chocolate (if desired).
Slice, serve and enjoy!

What is a dump cake?
A dump cake is the term given to a cake that is assembled and baked in the same dish. This cake is a dump cake because you “almost literally” dump ingredients into a baking dish and bake it. It can also be considered a type of cobbler as well.
How long is Oreo dump cake good for?
You can keep this cake well covered and stored in your fridge for up to 5 days. This should give you plenty of time to enjoy it throughout the week.
Can I reheat Oreo dump cake?
Yes, this cake can be reheated if you find that you enjoy it best when warm and gooey. Go ahead and place a serving-sized portion on a plate and microwave it for about 20-30 seconds until warmed through. Larger portions can be reheated in a baking dish in the oven for a few minutes.
How do you make Oreo dump cake without Cool Whip?
If you don’t have Cool Whip, you can substitute it with whipped cream or make your own whipped cream by whipping heavy cream with sugar until stiff peaks form. You can also omit the Cool Whip altogether and serve the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
What is the texture of a dump cake supposed to be?
Dump cakes are meant to have a soft, moist, and gooey texture. The cake mix and butter mixture form a crumbly topping, while the Oreo layer and any additional ingredients create a rich and decadent filling.
What is the biggest mistake to avoid when making a dump cake?
The biggest mistake to avoid when making a dump cake is not evenly distributing the butter on top of the cake mix. If the butter is clumped in certain areas, those areas will be too greasy and the rest of the cake will be dry. Make sure to spread the butter evenly over the cake mix before baking.

Super sorry about that! You bake it at 350 degrees F and the recipe has been corrected to reflect this.
Gina says
And, you don’t put the coolwhip/marshmallow on the unbaked cake, right? This is the topping for after it comes out of the oven, right?
Rosana Atlanta says
