Notes

Recipe Tips.
  • Line your sheet or platter with parchment so you can lift, rotate, and transfer the cake without sticking.
  • Work in quick layers; if sandwiches soften, pop everything in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, then resume.
  • For neat slices, warm a large knife in hot water, wipe dry between cuts, and let the cake sit on the counter a few minutes before slicing.
  • Flavor twists, swap in mint or Neapolitan sandwiches, instant vanilla or cheesecake pudding. different Oreo varieties, or sprinkle candy bits on top.
Make ahead and store, freeze uncovered for 1 hour to set, then wrap lightly in foil; keep frozen up to 1 month, thaw briefly before serving
Leftover cake can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and again with aluminum foil. This cake will last about a month in your freezer. Thaw slightly before serving.
