Giant OREO Cookie Cake

Ingredients

• 1 package (2-layer size) devil's food cake mix
• 1 cup water
• 3 large eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 4 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate
• 0.25 cup butter
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 2 cups thawed frozen whipped topping
• 12 OREO Cookies, coarsely crushed

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray.
2. Combine cake mix, water, eggs, and vegetable oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared cake pans.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 24 to 29 minutes. Cool cakes in the pans for 10 minutes; invert carefully onto wire racks. Cool cakes completely.
4. Place chocolate and butter in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high power until butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Stir until chocolate is completely melted; cool 5 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until combined; gently stir in whipped topping and crushed cookies.
6. Place 1 cake layer on a plate; top with cream cheese mixture. Place remaining cake layer on cream cheese mixture layer; spread with chocolate glaze. Let stand until firm, 10 minutes. Store in the refrigerator.
