A playful and nostalgic dessert featuring vanilla cake, creamy frosting, crushed Golden Oreos mimicking kitty litter, and gummy worms for a fun kids’ party treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (or your favorite boxed cake mix)
  • 1 cup water (240 ml)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil (80 ml)
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • Vanilla frosting (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3 cups Golden Oreos, crushed
  • Gummy worms or gummy candy
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for frosting)
  • Butter, unsalted and softened (if making homemade frosting)
  • Vanilla extract (for frosting or cake)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the yellow cake mix with 1 cup water, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 3 large eggs. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth, or whisk vigorously by hand until combined.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Remove the cake from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Let it cool completely for at least 30 minutes before frosting.
  5. While the cake cools, crush about 3 cups of Golden Oreos into fine crumbs with some small chunks using a food processor or a plastic bag and rolling pin.
  6. Spread a generous layer of vanilla frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
  7. Sprinkle the crushed Oreos evenly over the frosting layer until fully covered.
  8. Decorate with gummy worms or other gummy candies, tucking some halfway under the crumbs for a sneaky surprise.
  9. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to let the frosting firm up and flavors meld.
  10. Slice into squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts.

Notes

Do not frost the cake while it is warm to prevent melting and sliding crumbs. Crush cookies to a sandy texture with some small chunks for realistic kitty litter effect. Adjust frosting consistency with milk or powdered sugar as needed. Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing. Chill cake for at least 1 hour before serving. For extra creaminess, whip cream cheese into frosting.
