This is wonderful! I might even make a chocolate ganache to go on top instead of the glaze. I made recipe #145973 for the chocolate cake instead of from box. I also did glaze with 3 T. butter, 1 T. corn syrup, and 4 oz of semisweet chocolate in micro and then added 1/4 t vanilla. Nice glaze! I'm also thinking next time I might even try to put some peppermint in the cream cheese mixture along with green food coloring to make like a Mint Oreo. :) Thank you for posting!!

Made this cake for my nephew's 7th birthday party and it was a huge hit. I did add recipe#54269 to it as I wanted a towering cake and that worked perfectly. Other than that minor change made as directed including the glaze topping which was awesome. I must say though there was a TON of filling and even after stuffing the inside I had over half left - think next time I'll cut that down to half the amount. But the taste, presentation and awe factor was perfect.

AMAZING CAKE!! My husband has been wanting an oreo cake since I don't know when, so I finally found this and made it for his birthday. I'm pretty picky about my desserts, but this one did not disappoint. I used devil's food cake and let the layers cool overnight before adding filling. For chocolate on top I added about 1/4 cup powdered sugar to thicken it up because I didn't want it to run over the edges--it didn't, but it did taste like fudge. Bonus! I can't wait to have an excuse to make this again. If you like oreos, you'll absolutely love this cake.

I made this for a child's birthday and it was a hit. Some did not care for the cream cheese flavour of the filling- it does take it into the category of cheesecake. So next time I will omit the cream cheese and sugar and add a bit more whip topping. I substituted real whipping cream for the Cool Whip (250ml 35% cream plus 2 Tbsp. sugar and beat till stiff). I made the cake using a Duncan Hines Devil's Food cake mix and followed the directions on the box. One could easily substitute their favourite chocolate scratch cake for the mix. Cool the glaze mixture a little longer till slightly thick and you won't have a problem with it dripping over the sides. :)
