Chocolate Oreo Bundt Cake – Soft and moist chocolate bundt cake stuffed with Oreo chunks, iced and topped with even more Oreos!
This cake is a chocolate and Oreo lover’s dream. The sponge is so moist and melt-in-your-mouth, and the crushed Oreos add a delicious crunch.
This is my favourite chocolate cake recipe. I just love how soft and moist it is, it almost melts in your mouth. The vegetable oil and buttermilk are what makes this cake so moist.
They also make the batter beautifully silky, you’ll want to dip your finger in and ‘taste test’ 😉
TIP: If you can’t get hold of buttermilk, make your own! Just add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to a measuring jug, then add 240ml of milk. Leave for 5 minutes, then it’s ready to use!

Chocolate Oreo Bundt Cake
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 12 Oreos, roughly crushed
- 2 ¾ cups (340g) self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup (50g) cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ¼ cups (450g) caster/granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
For the Glaze
- 2 ½ cups (312g) icing/powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- About 4 – 5 Oreos, for topping, roughly crushed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F/176C. Spray a 10" bundt pan and dust with cocoa powder, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and beat on high speed until well combined. Add the oil, eggs, and vanilla and beat until combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in the Oreo chunks.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50 – 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean with moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool for 20 minutes in the pan on a wire rack before removing. Leave to cool completely before frosting.
For the Glaze
- Whisk together the icing sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Add more milk if too thick. Pour over the bundt cake, and sprinkle with Oreo chunks.

Hello Marsha. Need your help… I made this recipe for a friend’s birthday. I followed your recipe to the tee. Cake rose beautifully then sunk just before cooking time was up and I removed from oven. This happened twice! I have a dark bundt pan so I baked the first cake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes. Cake #1 sunk so badly I couldn’t serve it so I made a second one. I lowered the oven temperature to 325 degrees for cake #2 and baked for 60 mins. Cake #2 sunk slightly, I was able to get away with serving it by it flipping over. Both cakes tasted great but I really want to solve sinking issue.
What do I need to change?
Thank you
@Henrietta, This happened to me too and I’m pretty sure it’s because of the excessive amount of baking soda on top of using self rising flour. It blows the lid off and then collapses. Very disappointing.
How do you think this will turn out using gluten free measure for measure flour?
Gluten-free should work just fine.
It looks so yummy but I tried making it twice tonight and cooked it for even longer and it was still raw and collapsed on itself 🙁
Bundt cakes can take up to 1 hour or more (up to 80 minutes) to bake depending on your oven. Make sure to only take it out of the oven once a toothpick inserted comes out clean with a few moist crumbs. I also recommend using an oven thermometer to make sure your oven is the correct temperature and is not too hot/cold (which can affect results).
You can cover the pan loosely with foil halfway through baking to prevent the cake browning too much before the middle in done.
I hope this helps!
I would love to try this but can you convert the measurements to US for me. I don’t do metric. Thanks
I have updated the recipe to include US measurements 🙂
This cake looks amazing! Putting all the ingredients on my list!
Thanks, Ellen!
Marsha this cake looks divine…my daughter would love this as she loves Oreos! And the photography is beautiful too 🙂
Thanks, Wajeeha! 🙂
You had me at Oreos!! This looks amazing! I love that there’s Oreos in the cake AND on the top! Of course Oreos just made an already awesome chocolate cake even better! 😀
Thanks, Dini! 😀
I always forget to pick up buttermilk from the store. Luckily I always have lemons on hand. . .so I generally find myself improvising with milk and lemon juice. It’s good to know that I can also use vinegar if we happen to have a lemon shortage in our house. 😉
But enough about buttermilk. Can we talk about this cake? It is so pretty. You can tell from the photos just how moist it truly is. And that glaze. . .it looks so stunning up against the rich, chocolatey cake. .
Thanks so much, Lynn!! 🙂
Oreos have become a staple in some of my recipes. Can’t go wrong with it! This recipe is already putting me in a nice food coma.
Haha same here, Linda! I’m really trying to eat better 😉

I love your Oreo bundt, it is great to find a bundt recipe in metric measurements too (I’m in England) as most seem to be in cups which we don’t use over here. Would love a slice please!

Can I make cake ahead of time?
Leftovers can be stored, covered, in the fridge for up to 2 – 3 days. You can bake this cake 1 day in advance. Allow to cool completely, then cover tightly and keep in the fridge until ready to glaze and serve. This cake also freezes well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving. 🙂
Hi good morning
Can I use white sugar if I don’t have brown sugar
Yes you can! 🙂
