A rich, creamy, and colorful layered dessert with a soft cake base, fluffy cream cheese layer, silky pudding, and the crunch of festive birthday cake-flavored Golden Oreos.


Ingredients

For the Cake Base:

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix (or yellow cake mix)

  • ¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

  • 3 tablespoons water

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles (jimmies)

For the Cream Cheese Layer:

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened to room temperature

  • 1 cup creamy vanilla frosting (store-bought or homemade)

  • 2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

  • 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles

For the Pudding Layer:

  • 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix

  • 3 cups cold whole milk (cold milk sets the pudding better than warm)

For the Topping:

  • Remaining whipped topping (about 2 cups)

  • 12 Golden Oreo Birthday Cake Creme Sandwich Cookies, coarsely crushed

  • Remaining rainbow sprinkles


Instructions

1. Prepare the Cake Base

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Lightly spray the bottom of a 13×9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. No need to grease the sides.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the following:

  • 1 box cake mix

  • ¾ cup melted butter

  • 2 beaten eggs

  • 3 tablespoons water

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix well using a sturdy spoon or hand mixer until smooth and no dry patches remain. Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of rainbow sprinkles to distribute evenly.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

  • Bake for 24 to 28 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Allow to cool completely on a wire rack – this may take about 45 minutes. The layers won’t set properly if the base is warm.


2. Make the Cream Cheese Layer

In a large bowl, beat together:

  • 1 softened package of cream cheese

  • 1 cup vanilla frosting

Use an electric mixer on medium speed, scraping down the sides often, until the mixture is silky smooth with no lumps.

  • Gently fold in 2 cups of whipped topping until combined.

  • Stir in 2 more tablespoons of rainbow sprinkles for a colorful touch.

Spread this creamy mixture evenly over the cooled cake base using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.


3. Prepare the Pudding Layer

In a medium bowl, whisk together:

  • 2 packages of instant vanilla pudding mix

  • 3 cups cold milk

Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture becomes thick and pudding-like.

  • Immediately spread this over the cream cheese layer using a clean spatula.


4. Add the Whipped Topping

  • Drop spoonfuls of the remaining whipped topping (around 2 cups) over the pudding layer.

  • Gently spread into an even layer, being careful not to disturb the layers underneath.


5. Chill and Decorate

  • Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows all the layers to firm up.

When ready to serve:

  • Sprinkle the top with the crushed Golden Oreo Birthday Cake cookies.

  • Add the remaining rainbow sprinkles for a festive finish.


Serving

  • Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows to yield 24 servings.

  • Serve chilled for best texture.

Serving Tip:

Wipe your knife clean between cuts for neat, distinct layers. A small offset spatula or pie server helps lift each piece cleanly.


Storage

  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.

  • Avoid freezing — the pudding and whipped layers don’t thaw well.


Optional Variations

  • Make it chocolatey: Swap the vanilla pudding with chocolate, or use chocolate whipped topping for a twist.

  • Add crunch: Stir crushed Oreos into the cream cheese layer for more texture.

  • Use different Oreos: Try regular Golden Oreos, red velvet, or other limited edition flavors.
