Ingredients

25 pieces Oreo Cookies
3 cups All-purpose Flour
1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
1 1/4 cups Milk
1 cup Butter-flavored Shortening
4 large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
6 oz Semi-sweet Chocolate Pieces
3 tablespoons Butter-flavored Shortening
1 tablespoon Milk
1 tablespoon Corn Syrup

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Grease and flour a 9-inch fluted tube pan.
2
Cut each Oreo cookie into quarters.
3
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, shortening, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
4
Beat with an electric mixer at low speed until ingredients are blended.
5
Increase speed to high and beat for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
6
Spoon about 3/4 cup of the batter into the prepared tube pan to create a base layer.
7
Gently stir the cut-up Oreo pieces into the remaining batter.
8
Spoon the remaining batter with cookies over the base layer in the pan.
9
Bake for 50 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched with a finger. Do not use a toothpick test as the chocolate chips will give false results.
10
Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
11
Remove the cake from the pan and continue cooling on the rack until completely cool.
12
While the cake cools, prepare the chocolate glaze. In a 1-quart saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate pieces, shortening, milk, and corn syrup.
13
Stir constantly until melted and smooth.
14
Place the cooled cake on a rack over a large plate to catch drips.
15
Pour the warm chocolate glaze over the top and sides of the cake.

Note

Storage: This cake freezes well. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing. It also tastes great cold straight from the refrigerator.

Tip: Do not use a toothpick to test for doneness because the chocolate pieces in the Oreos can melt and stick to the toothpick, giving a false impression that the cake is undercooked. Rely on the spring-back test instead.

Variation: You can use regular butter instead of butter-flavored shortening for the glaze if preferred.
