  1. I disagree with the other review. This is one of the best cakes I've ever tasted. No need to make double the frosting at all - it is just right with the "prescribed" amount. You can always use less confectioners sugar if you want to reduce the sweetness factor. I highly recommend this recipe. The white creamy centers of the Oreos that get mixed in the cake with the chocolate crumbs add a nice sweetness and moistness. Two thumbs up for me.
     
  2. This is sooooo yummy! I made it for my boyfriend's dad's 81st birthday and it was a hit! I followed the directions exactly (I used a tiny bit more vanilla because I am a huge vanilla lover) and no need to adjust anything, it came out perfect. Kittencal I am in love with all of your recipes, you are a very amazing cook and baker!
     
  3. Made for Easter Egg Hunt Game. SIMPLE FUN and YUMMY! So easy and the cake melts in your mouth.We all enjoyed this cake.
     
  4. The idea of putting oreo cookie crumbles in a regular cake mix worked quite well. I chopped them quite finely and they were distributed throughout the batter and did not sink during baking. My lower rating is due to the overly sweet taste of the frosting. I did double the amount because I was making a double layer cake and wanted to make sure there was enough to frost both layers generously. Maybe that was the problem--too much frosting overwhelmed the cake. It made an attractive cake when I pressed the oreo crumbs around the outside layers. The frosting set up well in the refrigerator after a couple of hours. My recommendation would be to use another frosting (less sweet) recipe.
