Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup Oreo cookie crumbs
- 1 cup cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting
- Oreo cookies for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and water. Mix until well combined and smooth, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Fold in the Oreo cookie crumbs gently into the cake batter until evenly distributed.
- Divide the red velvet batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula if necessary.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the cakes to avoid overbaking.
- Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the cookie dough layer. If using store-bought cookie dough, scoop out 1 cup and set aside. If making homemade cookie dough, mix together flour, butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips until combined. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of cream cheese frosting on top of the first cake layer, then evenly distribute the cookie dough over the frosting.
- Carefully place the second cake layer on top of the cookie dough. Frost the top and sides of the entire cake with the remaining cream cheese frosting, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- For decoration, crush some Oreo cookies and sprinkle them on top of the frosted cake. You can also place whole Oreo cookies around the edge or on top for an extra decorative touch.
- Once decorated, slice the cake into 12 servings. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your delicious Oreo Cookie Dough Red Velvet Blondie Layer Cake!
Tips
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest cake batter possible.
- Don't overmix the cake batter - this can lead to a tough, dense cake instead of a light, fluffy texture.
- Use parchment paper in your cake pans for guaranteed easy removal.
- Chill the cookie dough before layering to make it easier to handle and spread.
- For the most even frosting, use an offset spatula and rotate the cake as you spread.
- If you want extra Oreo flavor, crush some cookies extra fine and mix directly into the frosting.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to help the layers set and make cutting easier.
- For a professional look, clean your knife with hot water between each slice for perfectly clean cuts.
