Oreo Cake

We are busy little elves here at

Purple Chocolat Home

but things are getting wrapped up. 

 I hope you are doing well with all of your 

Christmas plans, parties and preparations too.

The month of December is always so filled with

parties and I am always looking for something new

to bring or to serve.

I needed a cake for a Relief Society Christmas Dinner

(our lady's church group) 

and I was on Pinterest the night before.

I saw this cake.

This was the comment under the picture

"Warning if you make this cake once, you will

be asked to make it again.  Possibly the most loved

cake I have ever made."

Sounded good to me.  The pin actually took you

to Kraft Recipes.

It is simply two layers of your favorite chocolate cake

with an Oreo Cookie cream filling and finished with

a chocolate glaze.  Yum.

I am usually disappointed with the finished result when a

photo from a commercial site doesn't have the depth of 

filling they show.  Well, in this case, my filling looks

twice as high.  That should draw you in.

It really was yummy and went quickly at the party.

Chocolate-Covered Oreo Cookie Cake

(The great thing was that I had everything in the pantry and fridge.)

1 pkg chocolate cake mix - 

I used Betty Crocker's Triple Chocolate Fudge

or your favorite chocolate cake recipe

2/3 C. semi sweet chocolate chips

1/4 C. butter

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1/2 C. granulated sugar

2 C. Cool Whip, thawed

12 Oreos, crushed

Make cake mix according to package direction.  I baked

mine in 2 - 8 inch round pans.  Let cool completely. 

Meanwhile let cream cheese soften.  Beat the

cream cheese and sugar together until fluffy.  Fold

in the Cool Whip.  Then fold in the crushed Oreos.

Place bottom layer of cake on cake stand.  Spread the

filling onto cake.  Keep it from spreading over the sides.

The filling is really thick and easy to work with.  Smooth

out the filling.  Top with second layer of cake and press

down lightly.  Make sure cake is level.

Melt the chocolate and butter together in a bowl at

30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval

even if it doesn't look like it needs to be stirred.  Spoon

the chocolate onto cake.  Avoid letting it drip down the

sides of the cake.

Keep cake refrigerated.  Let it sit out for 20 minutes

before slicing for the chocolate glaze to soften a little.

Printable Recipe

(Yes, this is a new feature! I have had requests

for this feature and haven't followed up, but now I followed

Yvonne's instructions (Stone Gable)on how to make a 

printable recipe and guess what - it worked.  Thanks

Yvonne!!  She had great step by step instructions that were

easy to follow.)

Since hubby wasn't invited to the Relief Society dinner

he has been asking for one ever since and he didn't even

get to lick the spoon, he just thought it looked incredible.

We will be making this one again really soon.

I will be taking this to these parties:
