How to Make an Oreo Drip Cake

The full recipe instructions for crumbl copycat recipe are in the recipe card, below but here is a step by step overview of the recipe

In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix with egg, oil and water as noted on the box. Beat on low speed until blended and add crushed Oreos and fold gently.

Pour cake batter into prepared pans.I use a combination of butter and flour for the pans, but you could use baking spray. Bake as directed until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.

Cover cake layers individually with plastic wrap and freeze at least an hour. Prepare frosting, Pull layers out of the refrigerator and top each layer with frosting in a stack.

Frost the sides and top of cake with an offset spatula.

Frost the entire cake then using a straight edge spatula or bench scraper, scrape the side of the cake. You want to a smooth icing look.

Melt the candy melts and using a squeeze bottle (or pastry tip), drip the melted candies around the edge of the cake top Line the bottom of the cake with cookies all around the base.

Once you have dripped the entire edge of the cake top, add frosting drops.

Top the center of the cake with chocolate chips, crushed Oreos crumbs, and/or a row of cookies on their sides.

  • Level the cakes while still inside of the pans. Place a cake board over the top and flip the cake out.

Decorating the Cake

Notes

It may be helpful to return cake to freezer within these steps if frosting crumbs start to develop. Freezing the cake reduces the frequency of the cake crumbs combining with the frosting. 
If your white chocolate drip is too thick and not dripping, add a small amount of melted coconut oil or vegetable oil to thin it out.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little.

I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
