Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup chocolate frosting
- 1 cup crushed Oreos
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and water. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, ensuring the mixture spreads to all corners.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature for approximately 45-60 minutes.
- Once cooled, spread the chocolate frosting evenly across the top of the cake using an offset spatula or butter knife.
- Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies over the frosted cake, covering the entire surface for a textured "asphalt" appearance.
- Cut into 8 equal servings and serve at room temperature. Can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Mixing Matters: Be sure to mix the cake batter until it's smooth, but avoid overmixing to keep your cake light and fluffy.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your cake a few minutes before the recommended baking time. A toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center.
- Cooling is Key: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off.
- Oreo Crush: For an even texture, crush the Oreos in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin or use a food processor.
- Serving Suggestions: This cake is best enjoyed at room temperature, and it pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
