A quick and easy chocolate poke cake soaked with a luscious creamy filling and topped with whipped cream and crushed cookies, perfect for parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (recommend Betty Crocker)
  • Ingredients called for on the cake mix box (usually 3 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, 1 cup water)
  • 1 (14 oz / 396 g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (8 oz / 227 g) container sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 15–20 Oreo cookies, crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine chocolate cake mix with eggs, oil, and water as per package instructions. Whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour batter evenly into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Let cake cool for 10 minutes. Using a fork or skewer, poke holes about 1 inch apart all over the cake.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour mixture slowly over warm cake, letting it seep into the holes. Spread remaining liquid evenly.
  6. Cover cake loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  7. Just before serving, whip chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form (3-4 minutes).
  8. Gently fold most of the crushed Oreo cookies into the whipped cream, reserving some for garnish.
  9. Spread the cookies and cream whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake. Sprinkle remaining crushed cookies on top.
  10. Slice into squares and serve chilled. Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, swap sour cream with coconut yogurt and heavy cream with coconut cream. Use gluten-free cake mix and cookies for gluten-free version. Chill cake overnight for best flavor. Let cake sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving if too dense. Whip cream to stiff peaks but avoid overwhipping.
