Description
Oreo cake is the kind of dessert that brings pure joy with every bite. It has the rich flavor of chocolate cake, the nostalgia of childhood cookies, and the creamy smoothness of cookies-and-cream frosting.

This cake is soft, moist, indulgent, and perfect for celebrations or even a simple weekend dessert when you want to spoil yourself. It’s easy to make, fun to serve, and guaranteed to make everyone ask for seconds.
