We moved recently, and as I packed up my kitchen, my husband was amazed at the number of cake pans I own. He tried to get me to purge at least half of them, and I naturally resisted! This Baker's Advantage Fillables pan was one of my newer acquisitions, and I had lots of ideas of how I wanted to use it.
With Valentine's Day coming up, I gravitated towards chocolate. I had 2 chocolate fudge cake mixes and a can of milk chocolate frosting in the pantry. If you aren't a fan, you can definitely make both from scratch. I was a little worried about stickage, so I used a light coating of cooking spray on the pans. The cakes popped right out.
That left those fantastic pockets to fill. My son loves Oreos, and my husband loves cheesecake, so I combined a few recipes and ended up with a no bake filling that was easy to pipe through a pastry bag.
Very happy with the end result, and I'm looking forward to trying many more combinations. My son also wondered how it would turn out if you made 2 of the pocket layers. Twice as much filling!
There are lots of ways to your Valentine's heart- breakfast, dinner, cocktails or dessert. Be sure to check out the collection of #ValentinesDayFood recipes from some amazing bloggers at the end of this post, thank you to Family Around the Table for hosting!

Chocolate Cake with No Bake Oreo Filling
ingredients:
- 2 boxes chocolate cake mix ( I used Chocolate fudge)- or your favorite from scratch chocolate cake
- 6 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2t vanilla
- For No Bake Filling
- 3/4c heavy cream
- 4oz cream cheese (softened)
- Heaping 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 6 crushed Oreos
- 1 can Milk Chocolate frosting
- Crushed Oreos for garnish
instructions:
- Prepare cake according to package directions. Spray pans with nonstick cooking spray, and divide batter between the pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes, invert onto racks to cool completely.
- Beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Freezing your mixing bowl and beater will help this happen faster. In another bowl, mix together cream cheese and powdered sugar until there are no lumps. Fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Stir in oreos. Refrigerate until needed.
- To assemble cake- place layer with pockets on your serving dish. Use a pastry bag to pipe Oreo filling into pockets. Heat icing in microwave in 30 second intervals until pourable. Pour 1/3 over layer, spreading to the edges but not flowing over.
- Add top layer. Pour remaining frosting over the top, using a spatula to spread it to flow over the sides. Sprinkle with additional crushed oreos, if desired. Slice and enjoy. Store in refrigerator.

This reminds me of Sanders Bumpy Cake....my hubby's favorite. I need to find one of these pans and surprise him.
ReplyDeleteI googled Sanders Bumpy Cake and it looks awesome :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful and delicious looking cake! Now I am envious of that pan!
ReplyDeleteI've got my eye on a few of the other styles too :) The new house has way more storage, haha.
DeleteWhat a fun treat, not only for Valentine's Day, but a birthday or anniversary. I love you can use a cake mix. Such a time saver!
ReplyDeleteMe too! It helps me justify my cake mix buying addiction :)
DeleteOh man, look at that drip! This cake looks incredibly decadent, perfect for Valentines Day!
ReplyDeleteIt was like little chocolate waterfalls! And if you don't like a naked edges cake you definitely could pour and spread for totally glazed sides.
DeleteYum! That looks decadent!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOh man, I HAVE to make this cake! My friend just bought me the same cake pan you used to make this and she would love this recipe. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a fun pan! I'm mulling a spice cake, apple pie filling combination, as well as a yellow cake/lemon filling. Of course, there's Boston Cream Pie too! Good thing my family likes cake :)
DeleteThis cake is beautiful! What a chocolate lover's dream. Like you, I've been using a little cooking spray on the pans too, just to be safe. They are really fun to use!
