Ingredients

• Birthday Cake Oreos: bring that classic celebratory flavor and the fun of sprinkles inside Select fresh Oreos for the best texture
• Milk: for dipping Oreos this softens each cookie for a cake like bite Whole milk is preferred for extra richness
• Heavy whipping cream: creates a plush luscious filling Choose cold cream for maximum volume
• Confectioners sugar: sweetens the whipped cream without grittiness Look for finely sifted powder
• Dry white cake mix: amps up the birthday cake flavor Use high quality cake mix for best results
• Cream cheese: gives the filling its tang and body Softened to room temperature for smooth blending
• Granulated sugar: balances the tang of the cream cheese
• Vanilla extract: adds a depth of flavor Pure vanilla will make a difference
• Rainbow sprinkles: use classic jimmies to keep colors bold and prevent bleeding into the cream
• Extra whipped cream and sprinkles: for topping because more is more

Instructions

Whip the Cream:

In a large cold bowl use electric beaters to whip the heavy cream to soft peaks The cream should billow but not be stiff yet Add confectioners sugar and cake mix then whip until stiff peaks form Take care not to overwhip Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently They should stay whole and colorful Set this bowl aside in the fridge

Make the Cream Cheese Filling:

In a separate large bowl beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract Beat at medium speed until totally smooth and fluffy This can take several minutes Stop to scrape the bowl at least once

Combine and Finish the Cream:

Using a spatula fold the whipped cream mixture gently into the cream cheese avoid deflating the airiness Mix until fully combined with no visible streaks This filling should hold its shape and look pillowy

Prep the Pan:

Lightly coat your springform pan with a thin layer of butter or baking spray Spread a small dollop of the cream mixture on the bottom to anchor the cookie layer

Layer the Oreos:

Pour milk into a shallow dish Quickly dip each Oreo just for a second or two and immediately line the bottom of the pan with a single even layer Repeat until the base is covered but not overcrowded

Build the Cake:

Spread about one third of the cream mixture over the first Oreo layer Use an offset spatula to reach the edges Repeat Oreo dipping and cream spreading for two more layers finishing with the remaining cream on top Smooth out the top for a neat presentation

Chill to Set:

Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least four to six hours but overnight is best This allows the cookies to absorb moisture and everything firms up to slice cleanly

Decorate and Serve:

Just before serving add swirls of extra whipped cream and dust generously with sprinkles Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean edges Serve chilled

My favorite part is sneaking a few birthday cake Oreos for snacking while assembling The way each layer blends together always reminds me of my childhood family gatherings piled around the table with laughter and sprinkles everywhere

Storage Tips

Store leftover cake in the springform pan covered tightly with plastic wrap For longer storage transfer individual slices to an airtight container The texture holds best when consumed within three days For even longer storage the cake can be frozen Before topping with whipped cream wrap rounds of cake tightly in plastic and freeze up to one month Thaw overnight in the fridge for best results

Ingredient Substitutions

If you cannot find birthday cake Oreos use regular golden Oreos and add a few extra spoonfuls of sprinkles to the filling For a slightly less sweet dessert swap some of the confectioners sugar for additional cream cheese The cake mix adds a signature flavor but you can leave it out and bump up vanilla if needed The recipe adapts well to gluten free sandwich cookies and non dairy whipped toppings if allergies are a concern

Serving Suggestions

Serve extra cold on a hot day with strawberry slices on the side For a party try decorating each slice with colored candles for a fun birthday surprise You can add chocolate shavings or sparkly edible glitter for an extra festive touch Leftovers make a great afternoon snack with coffee or tea

Chill this cake thoroughly so each slice is picture perfect and creamy Serve cold and enjoy the party in every bite
