Add cake to a 9x13 greased pan. Bake the cake for the time according to the back of the package.
Remove from the oven and cool on a rack until the cake is warm to the touch.
Using a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly throughout the cake.
Next, mix the Oreo Pudding according to the package directions. Allow to sit for 5 minutes and then pour over the top of your poked holes in the cake.

Chill the cake for 30 minutes to 1 hour before adding whipped topping
Remove the cake from the fridge and spread thawed whipped topping over the cake to the edges.

If you’re ready to serve, add Oreos now OR chill until ready to serve – adding the Oreos right before you’re ready to eat. Once ready to eat, break up the Oreos and add right over the cake. Serve immediately.

Notes

Doctoring up a cake mix with the additional ingredients is key to taking this cake over the top
Use the handle of a wooden spoon to add the "poke" holes into the cake.
Add the pudding to the cake while it is slightly warm to allow it to really seep into the cake to make it extra moist.
It is much easier to add the cool whip to the cake when you chill the cake after adding the pudding.
Allow your Cool Whip to thaw completely before adding it to the cake. Give it a good stir before spreading.
Crush the Oreo Cookies by hand and add right before serving for extra crunch.
This cake can be stored in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days for best results and taste.
