Follow the instructions for your chocolate cake, but split the cake mix into two baking pans (we did 8"8, you can use whatever size but it has to match the size of the ice cream)
Let cakes cool
Place one cake on a large plate
Place the ice cream on top of that cake
Crush up 5 or so oreo's and sprinkle them on top of the ice cream
Put the second layer of cake on top of that
Smear on some Cool Whip with a spatula as thick as you'd like it
Crush as many oreo's as you'd like and sprinkle them on top
Story behind the recipe:
The Chef's favorite dessert is ice cream oreo cake. Allergy Girl wanted to make it as a surprise for him for their anniversary. She looked at regular recipes online, but none looked like they were staying authentic to the classic name brand Oreo cake so she tried to do it from memory. Doing it from memory was a challenge because she hadn't had it since she was a little girl before she found out she had all these allergies.
Honestly this cake is very simple to make and doesn't require much effort. After you make it, you'll think about how it's no big deal and you wouldn't mind making it again. It's absolutely delicious! The reward far outweighs the amount of effort. Hope you enjoy! Be sure to share with someone who loves Oreo's!
