This is an easy Oreo cake by way of an Oreo bundt cake, stuffed with an Oreo filling, so no slicing and frosting—just pour it all in one pan and finish with an Oreo glaze. Done! My favorite part about this cake is the reveal of the filling when sliced into. By all outward appearances this chocolate bundt cake looks average enough, but it’s the surprise filling that makes this cake. I love how the Oreo stuffing breaks up the richness of chocolate with its distinctly familiar flavor.
I made this cake for my little guy, hoping to turn around his dislike for cake. Not only does he not like cake, he doesn’t even like the smell of it. Who doesn’t like the smell of cake? I’ll tell you who doesn’t, it’s the same kid that doesn’t like frosting or sprinkles.
Well, I can chalk this one up as another big “no” from him, even though Oreos are his favorite cookies. My Oreo persuasion was knocked down with, “Mom I don’t like cake.” And even though it’s been 2 years since he he declared his non-cake loving way, I keep trying because I’m still in disbelief.

Notes
A few notes:
- This recipe is adapted form Culinary in the Desert via Canadian Living. The original recipe is a Peanut Butter Filled Bundt Cake, but I swapped out the peanut butter for Oreo.
- Other adaptations I made: I skipped creaming the butter by using melted butter. Since I didn't have any sour cream on hand, I used buttermilk.
- The cake can be stored covered on the counter for two days.
To be honest, I’m not always crazy about cake either! Unless it’s insanely moist or wedding-quality aka buttery pound cake. I still eat it and even crave it once in awhile, but not as much as other sweets. What I do like is the frosting and the fillings, and maybe slivers or small bites of the actual cake mixed in. Oreos in a cake… now that I would enjoy!
Dunno about him, but I love oreos, and I love bundt cakes. Totally must make this!
What a great idea to make a great chocolate cake even better – stuff it with one of my fave cookies 🙂
Aww. It’s depressing when the family isn’t enthusiastic about our creations, isn’t it? I have the same problem with my husband, who doesn’t like sweets other than Nutella and two baked goods. I always get so excited when I make something that I think will turn him, and then I get, “Not really my thing…” Ugh.
Anyway, this cake is beautiful and I love the filling in the middle! I don’t think I’ve ever made a bundt with filling. And great icing dripping skills! 🙂
This is amazing and the cake looks stunning. I could think of a few people in my family who will be fighting over this oreo stuffed bundt cake. I am drooling, but you wouldn’t be able to see it ;). Cheers!
Stunning!
I love anything cookies and cream…this is my dream!
I love a stuffed Bundt.
I cannot wait to make this cake!
Yum! This looks amazing – what a great idea…I love oreos! 🙂
I can’t believe taht your kid doesn’t like cake, and frosting and sprinkles, OMG please keep trying LOL! Your desserts always look amazing!
How can he not like cake??? Was he switched at birth!?!
This looks amazing…..thanks for the recipe!
I know how you feel, my boyfriend doesn’t like cake, I’ve tried loads of different cakes to try and change his mind, but nope still doesn’t like it. Anyway for everyone else who does like cake, this looks delicious and Oreo’s are my favourite cookies so a cake filled with them is my idea of heaven 🙂
More cake for you then! This looks amazing 🙂
Um, yeah this is pretty amazing. I’m been dreaming of this cake since I saw the preview on Instagram 🙂
I’m completely shocked but I’ll take his portion happily 🙂
My husband doesn’t like cake either…I’m dead serious. He said he’ll eat cupcakes and that’s only sometimes. 🙂
YUM YUM YUM YUM!
I love all of your recipes. thank you.

i love the black and white. I can’t believe your son doesn’t like cake, my kids would go CRAZY over this.
Seriously, your photos are just incredible. Also, I have a terrible weakness for Oreos. This would be very hard to say no to.
Yum! This looks absolutely amazing! I’m sorry your son doesn’t like cake… Hopefully he’ll come around someday 🙂
Saw this post and had to try it tonight – even though I planned on not backing anything. It is a thick, but delicate cake. Next time I will not allow the Oreos to be crushed as much as they were – I believe this is why my filling was so dark. It could also be due to the crushers fondness for Oreos, I think a couple extra were snuck in. Either way it is a wonderful idea and tasty creation.
Great site! Lots of beautiful photography. Especially love all the ‘white’ propping in this particular post. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!
Well hello to my Dad’s new birthday cake! He can’t get enough Oreos and always wants me to bake something new, and here it is! Great recipes and photos, Naomi!
My exact same reaction when my 6 year-old reaches for baby carrot when there is a plate full of cookies next to it! Gorgeous cake, Naomi! My Hubby doesn’t like bundt cakes but I think he will love this one for the oreos!
Who is this kid and where did he come from? Have you asked your husband about the possibility of a one night stand with the milk lady (jk jk).
Love everything about this and would orally dig into it with a fork (or my fingers).
Beautiful and delicious.
I love cake, even more filled with these delicious oreo cookies.
It was splendid. I would eat a slice now. Gina
I feel your pain. My hubby doesn’t like cake or anything desserty. Shocker, I know 😀
That looks almost too beautiful to eat!!!
Anna-Love it. My son will do the same, especially if its apples.
This is a great recipe! Imagine the possibilities if you used mint oreos!
Great concept and it photographs so nicely, I love the black and white contrast.
Hi Chelsea-GREAT idea!! My family would love that. Mint chocolate chip flavoring is a favorite in our home.
haha,I can’t believe your kid (or anyone for that matter)doesn’t eat cake! This looks freaking amazing and my cookies-n-cream-loving fiance would totally love it.
Also, your pictures are gorgeous. How do you get them so bright and white?? Do you use daylight or a special lamp?
This looks like an amazing. Lovely combination.
wow, amaaaaaziiiing cake.
i won’t eat this cake. i’ll use as my home decor. LOL
Love this recipe!! 😀 I’ve featured a link to it in my “Friday Favourites”, here: http://www.thechocolatebox.se/2012/08/fredagsfavoriter-v-31.html I hope you don’t mind?
The blog is in Swedish, but there is a translate button on the bottom right of the page (The translation is a little iffy of course, as can be expected with google translate.)
Have a great weekend! 🙂
Awesome recipe! I love that filling idea 😀
My husband doesn’t like cake either. I don’t think the smell bothers him but I have found very few cake recipes that I will try. He does love Oreo’s though so this might just do it. It’s gorgeous, Naomi!
This looks fabulous! I can’t believe there is a child alive who doesn’t like cake!
This sounds awesome! I can’t wait to make it.
as for your son not liking cake. I wouldn’t eat it when I was a kid. I always had pie for my birthday. Now I love cake, BUT there are still some cakes out there that give me that yuck feeling that I got from all cake as a kid, so he may just outgrow it.
I made this cake this wknd, but the oreo middle layer came out WAY smaller than the amount you have here. Like you could barely see it. Is the amount wrong? Or is your bundt pan some really small size? That being said, it was still delicious, but if I made it again I’d double or triple the cream cheese filling.
I have a non-cake lover in my family, and I *always* shocked to hear her say it each time anew.
I’ve read this post and if I could I want to suggest you few interesting things or tips. Thomas Sabo Bracelets actually accede their absurd variety http://www.getcomputerhelpnow.com/node/2#comment-638512
I want to try this SO bad! I’m somewhat a beginner when it comes to baking, I read the little notes at the bottom, would it be possible to use sour cream instead of buttermilk? Would it alter the taste much?
Hi, made this cake last night. It came out very well and yummy. The only problem I had was that while baking,some of the filling was oozing out and it was just so dark. Any idea why that happened? It still tasted amazing though!
Natasha
sweet jesus …. i need this in my life RIGHT NOW
I dont have buttermilk but do have sour cream. Same measurements?
I made this today for my nephew’s birthday. It’s baking right now. The middle is nothing close to white and beautiful like yours. As soon as I added the egg yokes I knew there was no way your filling was made with them. How did you make your filling white?
I am an Australian and generally for baking we use grams instead of ounces so could someone please tell me roughly if they know how many grams of cream cheese I would need, as I have converted and it says somewhere around 113g or something, which is less then a packet of cream cheese here.
This cake was pretty tasty, but unfortunately looked nothing like the pictures! The filling was never even close to off-white – it was pretty yellow because of the egg yolks, and then when I added the crushed oreos it got almost black. It also sank to the bottom of the bundt pan, so it wasn’t a filling but was more toward the top of the cake, and therefore the texture wasn’t really different from the rest of the cake either 🙁
