Oreo Layer
Wet Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 1 container (8 ounces) Cool Whip, thawed
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (approximately 15.25 ounces)
Butter
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks or 12 tablespoons) butter, cut into small pats
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Layer Oreos: Place 20 Oreo cookies in two even layers across the base of the prepared dish, arranging them side by side to cover the entire surface.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour all 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the Oreo cookies, allowing the milk to seep between the cookies.
- Spread Cool Whip: Using a spatula, spread the thawed 8-ounce container of Cool Whip evenly over the sweetened condensed milk layer.
- Top with Cake Mix: Sprinkle the entire box of chocolate cake mix evenly over the Cool Whip layer. Use a fork to gently rake through the dry mix to break up any lumps and create a uniform surface.
- Add Butter: Cut the 3/4 cup butter into small 1-tablespoon pats or smaller pieces. Distribute the pieces evenly across the top of the cake mix layer to cover as much surface as possible. Do not stir or mix.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the butter is melted and the top is golden and baked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the dump cake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This will help it set and makes it easier to slice.
Notes
- You can substitute regular Cool Whip with a dairy-free or vegan whipped topping if desired.
- The cake is best served slightly warm but remains delicious at room temperature or chilled.
- Do not stir the ingredients after assembling; the layering effect is key to the texture and flavor.
- For a nuttier twist, sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the cake mix before adding butter.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
