The Dark Chocolate Brownie Oreo Layer Cake is a rich, indulgent treat that combines layers of fudgy brownies, creamy pudding, and delightful Oreo crumbles. Perfect for chocolate lovers, the cake is a showstopper at any gathering, blending textures and flavors in every bite.
If you’re looking to swap ingredients, margarine can substitute for butter without a hitch. For those avoiding nuts, simply leave out the walnuts without compromising the cake’s integrity. You can also opt for dairy-free options on the pudding mix and Cool Whip, and be sure to check the labels on the Oreo cookies to avoid allergens.

Dark Chocolate Brownie Oreo Layer Cake Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 5 cups milk
- 4 (3 1/3 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 (18 ounce) package Oreo cookies
- 2 (8 ounce) containers Cool Whip (regular size)
- 1/4-1/2 cup Hershey’s syrup
Instructions
- Microwave 1 cup butter or margarine and 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate in a 2-quart glass bowl on high for 1 1/2 minutes or until the chocolate is melted, stirring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, toss together 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups walnuts (if desired), and 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Gently stir the remaining 1 cup of flour and 1/8 teaspoon salt into the sugar mixture, then add the walnut and chocolate chip mixture. Stir until combined.
- Spread the batter into a lightly greased 13x9x2-inch pan. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes. Once done, set aside to cool completely.
- For the Oreo layer, crush the entire package of Oreo cookies (except for 10 cookies) in a blender or a Ziploc bag until crumbly.
- Drizzle 1/4-1/2 cup Hershey’s syrup over the cooled brownie layer, spreading it with a spoon. Then sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies on top, drizzling more Hershey’s syrup again and spreading it around.
- For the pudding layer, pour 5 cups milk into a large bowl, add 4 packages of instant chocolate pudding mix, and beat with a wire whisk for 2 minutes. Let it stand for 2 more minutes to thicken.
- Spread the pudding mixture over the brownie and Oreo layers evenly.
- For the topping, spread 2 containers of Cool Whip over the pudding layer. Top with the remaining 10 Oreo cookies, either whole or crumbled, and drizzle more Hershey’s syrup over the top for a decorative touch.

For an equally delightful dessert, I highly recommend making the Double Cinnamon Chip Brownies. The combination of warm cinnamon and rich chocolate chips creates a unique flavor experience that you won’t want to miss.
