If you’re a chocolate and cookie fanatic, prepare to meet Ultimate Oreo Cheesecake—the showstopper that marries a fluffy cheesecake center studded with Oreo chunks with layers of rich, fudgy chocolate cake. Think of it as the love child of your favorite chocolate layer cake and an Oreo-studded cheesecake, all drenched in silky ganache. Seriously, what could be better?
Why You’ll Flip for This Cake
It’s been far too long since I shared a classic layer cake on the blog, so I decided to remedy that—and then some. What better way to celebrate chocolate than with an Oreo Cheesecake Chocolate Cake Recipe that’s part heavenly cheesecake, part deep-chocolate sponge, and all-around crowd-pleaser? Plus, the filling uses a whipped cream–cream cheese base mixed with chopped Oreos, so you get bursts of cookie crunch in every bite.
From Test Kitchen to Taste Test
At first, I was a bit nervous to riff on my go-to Hershey’s chocolate cake formula—after all, it’s good. But my kitchen mantra is “start with a classic, then make it yours.” A few recipe tweaks and an impromptu addition of chopped Oreos later, I had a creation I dared to call The Best Oreo Cheesecake. When my husband’s friends polished off the entire thing in minutes, I knew I’d nailed it. Empty plate = victory.
Oreo Cheesecake Recipe Steps (Quick Overview)
- Bake your chocolate layers. Use your favorite cake batter—mine is a streamlined melt-the-butter-and-chocolate method—for two 8-inch rounds.
- Whip up the filling. Beat heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, then fold in softened cream cheese, sugar, and roughly chopped Oreos.
- Assemble. Sandwich the creamy mixture between the cakes.
- Ganache finish. Pour warm milk-chocolate ganache over the top for that glossy, drippy effect.
See? Easy to remember and impossible to forget.
Why This Isn’t Just Any Chocolate Cake
- It’s a Cheesecake Chocolate Cake hybrid—no need to choose between cake and cheesecake!
- You get the nostalgic thrill of pulling apart an Oreo in every forkful.
- It qualifies as a Decadent Chocolate Cake, but the bright white filling keeps it from feeling too heavy.
Level-Up Tips
- Chill your filling before assembly. It’ll hold its shape better between layers.
- Crush Oreos coarsely for contrast—you want big chocolatey pockets, not dust.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the ganache. Even milk chocolate tastes luxe when melted with cream.
Serving Suggestions
Plate with a dusting of cocoa powder, extra Oreo halves, or a sprinkle of sea salt for a flavor pop. Pair with coffee or a glass of milk for the ultimate sweet-and-salty combo.

Ingredients
Chocolate Cake
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1¾ cups plain flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup just‑boiled water
Oreo Cheesecake Filling (No‑Bake)
- 1½ cups heavy cream, chilled
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup icing sugar
- 12 Oreo cookies, broken into large pieces
Milk Chocolate Ganache
- 8 oz milk chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
Decoration
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- Dollops of whipped cream
Instructions
- Bake the Cake Layers
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and line two 9″ round cake pans with parchment.
- In a big bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat on medium for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Stir in hot water until batter is uniform.
- Split batter between the pans and bake 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cakes rest 10 minutes, then invert onto racks (flat‑side up) to cool completely.
- Prepare the Oreo Cheesecake Filling
- Whip the cream to stiff peaks in a chilled bowl.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese and icing sugar until silky.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then gently stir in the Oreo chunks.
- Make the Ganache
- Warm the cream in a saucepan until it just simmers. Remove from heat, add chopped chocolate, and whisk until glossy.
- If too loose, let sit a minute to thicken—still pourable enough to drip.
- Assemble the Cake
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Evenly spread the Oreo cheesecake filling on top.
- Gently position the second cake layer over the filling.
- Pour the ganache over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
- Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle mini chocolate chips around the top edge.
- Pipe or spoon on whipped cream rosettes for a final flourish.
- Slice and delight in every creamy, crunchy, chocolatey bite!
