If you were a kid growing up in the mid-2000s, chances are
you remember these. Oreo Cakesters were a staple of my childhood, reminding me
of when times were much more simple. Unfortunately, these delicious treats were
discontinued in 2012. A few years ago, my grandmother and I searched through
numerous stores for these precious treats. We were unsuccessful in our pursuits
but we were luckily able to find a recipe online which my family and I
occasionally use today. I now present to you my recipe for Oreo Cakesters, the
discontinued snack that everyone wants back.
Ingredients for
the Chocolate Pieces:
2 beaten eggs
1 cup of oil
3 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
8 tablespoons of cocoa
2 cups of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of evaporated milk
Ingredients for
the Filling:
1 cup of vegetable shortening
⅓ cup of evaporated milk
2 cups of powdered sugar
Now that you have the necessary ingredients for the
Cakesters, you are ready to begin.
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa together in a small bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients for the chocolate pieces and mix together.
- Drop the chocolate batter about three inches apart on a cookie sheet. It is important that you do not drop them any closer or else they will mold together while in the oven.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes. If you cook it any longer and it will ruin the consistency of the entire treat.
- Remove and place in the refrigerator. I usually find that 15-20 minutes is ample enough time for the Oreos to cool down and harden.
- Beat the filling ingredients together until it has a creamy texture. The Oreo will taste weird if you do not do this long enough.
- Put the white filling between two of the cookies like a sandwich after they are cooled in the fridge.
- This step is optional but I like to wrap them in plastic wrap and put them back in the fridge for later.
The finished product should look like this! I hold these
treats near and dear to my heart because of the sweet taste as well as the
memories I have had while eating these. I hope that you found this recipe
helpful enough to try out one day and possibly share with your friends and
family. Enjoy!
Man, does this take me back. I'm glad that you shared this, I remember Oreo Cakesters were my favorite, and I was so so so sad when they were discontinued. But now, with this wonderful recipe, I can finally have my favorite childhood snack back. Thank you so much for posting this!

This is the first time I've heard of Oreo Cakesters, since my parents were sticklers about healthy eating when I was little. No matter; I already started missing it, just by name alone. I'm glad that you posted your recipe since they look incredibly delicious and I have nothing but free time to try making them over the summer.
ReplyDeleteI remember these Oreos, it’s so great that i can make my own using your recipe. I cant wait to try them again. Great job on your blog entry!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love this! When I find time I will try this recipe out. It's such a shame that they were discontinued, and it makes your how-to unique since no one can easily just go to the store and buy what you are teaching us how to make. This was well-written and informative; good job.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this awesome "How To!" I love oreo cookies and this recipe is something I HAVE TO try out. I will have to try and make these A$AP!
