Recipe Notes:
- Using a glass baking dish is a great way to show off the layers of your Blueberry Yum Yum cake.
- Chilling the yum yum cake in the fridge or freezer helps set the different layers and will also make it easier for you to cut it into individual portions to serve.
- Make sure your crushed cookies for the cake base are finely crushed. Larger cookie pieces will make it more difficult to cut the Yum Yum cake.

What variations can I make to this cake?

– Make a pineapple coconut yum yum cake using crushed and drained pineapple, chopped walnuts, and shredded coconut in addition to the base ingredients.
– Use chocolate pudding mix instead of vanilla and crushed oreo cookies for a Yum Yum chocolate oreo cake.
– Add nuts or other toppings than those listed above. Walnuts are also a great option in place of walnuts.
