Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, water, and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well-blended.
3
Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans and bake according to the package instructions, approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
4
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until fluffy and well-combined.
5
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping and coarsely chopped Oreo cookies until evenly mixed. Set aside.
6
Once the cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving platter, top side down. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on top.
7
Place the second cake layer, top side down, on top of the cream cheese filling. Microwave the chocolate frosting for about 10-15 seconds to soften it slightly, then spread it generously over the top of the cake, allowing some to drip down the sides if desired.

To enhance presentation, you can garnish the top with additional crushed Oreo cookies if you like. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy every decadent bite!
