Oreo Red Velvet Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

This Oreo Red Velvet Cake brings together everything you love about classic red velvet—its soft crumb, light cocoa flavour, and beautiful colour—combined with the irresistible crunch and creaminess of Oreo cookies. With two tender cake layers, a rich cream cheese frosting, and plenty of Oreo pieces folded in and on top, this dessert is festive, indulgent, and perfect for celebrations. Each step is simple, yet the result looks spectacular once assembled. Allow time for cooling and chilling so the layers set beautifully and slice cleanly.
