• 15.25 ounces box of chocolate cake mix
• 1/2 cup salted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Arrange Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in an even, single layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the base layer of the cake.

• Do not mix the layers together; the texture difference is key to this dessert.
• You can substitute salted butter with unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt if preferred.
• For best results, serve the cake warm to enjoy the gooey texture.
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
