Once batter has been prepared, stir in Oreo Cookie crumbs.
Gently stir batter just until combined.

Drizzle prepared caramel over top of batter. Trader Joe’s has an awesome salted caramel sauce I love to use.
Take a knife and run through caramel sauce swirling into sheet cake. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until baked through. Check by sticking a tooth pick in center of cake to make sure it comes clean.

This looks so good! Is it possible to make this without banana? I love the idea of the cookies and cream part of this cake, but don’t love the taste of banana. Would it be possible to leave out the banana or substitute it for something else? Thank you!
Hi Channing, I haven’t tested the cake without the banana, so I can’t say it would turn out like it should. I have a classic Texas Sheet Cake recipe you might like. You could add crushed Oreo Cookie to the top of the icing as it sets.
I don’t have the words to describe this tasty cake. It is just simply amazing and yummy.
