Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake Cake

May 6, 2013 by Kaylynn Zoe 24 Comments

Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake cake – Yes, it IS a mouthful, but OH. MY. GOODNESS. Try saying it three times fast? Impossible. Just shove it in your mouth and be happy. Seriously.

Have I mentioned I’m a sucker for anything regarding CHEESECAKE? Add Chocolate and Oreos to my cheesecake? DEFINITE WIN!

I found the idea….ok ok! It was on Pinterest! Of course I don’t have original ideas anymore! But I mushed two recipes together and was UBER pleased.

For the cheesecake, I used THIS recipe from Erin’s Food Files.

(I tried the cake too, and it turned out like this…. TWICE… Maybe it’s just because I’m in Utah or something? Who knows….chocolate cake hated me that night! One of them was STRAIGHT trash – obviously – it was in the garbage. The other made some delightful cake-balls.)

If you stick with this Erin’s cake recipe, I have no pointers for you, because I failed at it – twice.

Her cheesecake recipe, however, was to DIE for. PERFECT. Rich, creamy, smooth, and delightful. Highly recommended!

I went back to a tried and true chocolate cake recipe found HERE at Crazy Little Projects. She says it right when this cake is LITERALLY better than anything made from scratch and it’s Ah-MAZING!

    I’m sorry to hear that cake recipe didn’t work out for you. But I’m glad you had success with the cheesecake! Your end result is stunning! 🙂

      Erin, I don’t think it was your fault – I literally just think that the cake hated me that night. Honestly. Plus, it tasted DELICIOUS! I’m not kidding you – I was eating it right out of the pan/trash! haha!

    Ok, what is Pastry Pride? It looks like cool whip on the outside. I made this cake for my husband’s birthday last year & just did the white chocolate buttercream. It is a yummy cake!

      Pastry Pride is a GENIUS invention that looks and tastes like cool whip (or like an Oreo middle…mmm!) but it holds its shape. You can whip it until it’s basically thick like butter and it’s GREAT for filling cakes or messy frosting – as seen above! I’d HIGHLY recommend it!

          I buy mine at Funfinity – super random – I know. I’ve also seen it at the Provo Bakery. Sorry if that doesn’t help at all. They keep it in the freezer section, so when you buy a carton, you’re basically buying a rock. Literally.

            Dang! I don’t live that far south. Maybe I can get my brother to get me some & bring it up for Mother’s Day weekend!

            I’d call around – you could try someplace like a Zurchers. I know there’s a store that sells Bosch stuff and it sells it too. Super random…do some research – trust me, it’s worth it!
