Oreo Poke Cake ~ Chocolate Cake Topped with Oreo Pudding, Cool Whip and Crushed Oreos! Quick, Easy Poke Cake That Everyone Will Love!
I am ashamed to admit how much I love Oreos. I mean, I’m a blogger and should have fancier tastebuds then ones that love and adore a premade cookie like that right? Nope. I give anything for them! Plus who doesn’t like a piece of chocolate cake? Combine the two into this Oreo Poke Cake and I’m a total goner!
This quick and easy poke cake is impressive, yet easy enough that the non-experienced baker can totally pull it off. My warning is that if you make this cake, people will become your new best friends just to get a piece. It’s amazing! It’s right up there with my favorite Better Than Sex Cake, which is another easy poke cake recipe.
So amazing that when I made it I knew I needed it to leave my house stat because I was going to eat every last piece of it in a flash. That is, if my children didn’t get it first. I’ve never seen Miss K eat a piece of cake so fast. Then promptly say, “More Mommy?”
When I know things need to leave my house my unsuspecting neighbors get random text messages to see if they are home so I can find the food a new home. Sometimes it takes them a bit by surprise. For example I texted a neighbor asking if she was home or anyone in her family. Unfortunately, she thought I was in some kind of trouble and quickly repsonded asking was what was wrong and what she could do to help.
Uhhhh just need you to eat my cake that’s all! She thought she could handle that!
I’m guessing her two teenage boys probably helped her out with the task! Plus, it gives me a chance to swing by and say hi! It always amazes me how you can live right by someone and never see them because of life. Life is so busy! I find myself getting into a routine and I never break from it. I go about my business in my own little bubble and forget anyone else exists!
If you are guilty of this too I have the perfect remedy for the situation. Just make this Oreo Poke Cake and then go gifting it to neighbors. They’ll forgive you right away for ignoring them for years in hopes that you will continue to bring them cake like this!
I also have the warning your husband might get angry with you when you give Oreo Poke Cake away! He was not impressed that I gave most of this away and neither were the girls.
When he saw the video for this recipe his eyes lit up and quickly told me that I need to make this as soon as possible again.
I’m sure there are more neighbors that will help me eat this right?
Are you wishing you were my neighbor by now?
Love Oreos like I do? You have to try my easy Oreo Balls, too!

Wonderful recipe. I will make this cake over and over again. Love it.
Thank you
Does it need to be refrigerated if not being served until the next day?
Yes, you’ll want to refrigerate this one until you eat it.
This looks like such a great recipe. As a person with a chocolate “problem”, I can see there might not be much leftover to share. Enjoyed reading your write up to the recipe.
P.S If anyone is looking for a special Sweets sign for their entertaining table, this would probably be perfect: https://homesandweddings.indiemade.com/product/decoration-bridal-showers-rehearsal-dinner-decor-sweets-table-sign
It’s been too long since I’ve had Oreos! Love easy cakes like this!
I live in Ontario Canada, does anyone no where they sell Oreo pudding here.
You could use plain vanilla pudding and grind up Oreos and add to it! I think that would work!
Thought it was going to be richer. It was ok though
You didnot say anything about FROSTING; WHAT DO YOU USE?
Cool Whip! It’s in the directions now.
Never did find cookies & cream pudding. My hubby is the baker & he used Hershey’s white chocolate instant pudding.
How did it turn out?
This looks delicious! Yummy. 🙂
I’m with u, can’t wait to make this!
Thanks Geri!
Julie I went to get instant OREO pudding & could not find it. Where do u get yours?
Geri
I just found right with all the pudding mixes in the grocery store!
