3 Ingredient Chocolate Cake | Recipe

Who knew you could make a chocolate cake using only 3 ingredients?! Here's how:

This cake has a soft yet brownie-like texture and is really amazing considering it just uses 3 ingredients. No flour, eggs, sugar etc needed!

Ingredients:

32 Oreo cookies / 350g of your favorite cookie,

2 and 1/4 tsps of baking powder,

370ml of warm milk

Method:

1. Blend the cookies using a food processor into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

2. Mix in the baking powder until well combined.

3. Pour this mixture into a large bowl and create a well in the centre using a spatula.

4. Stir in the milk until well mixed. The mixture should resemble a cake batter. 

5. Spray a lined 6 inch springformm pan with cooking spray.

6. Pour the cake batter into the pan and bake in a pre-heated 170c oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cntre comes out clean.

7. Let the cake cool completely before taking it out of the pan. 

8. Run a spatula along the sides of the pan to remove the cake once cooled.

9. Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve.

Tips:

• Make sure your milk is warm so that the cookie crumbs can absorb all that moisture. It will result in a cake with a better texture (i.e. finer crumb).
• You can choose to blend the final cake mixture to ensure a smooth cake batter.

Nutella & Oreo Mille Crêpe Cake (CREPES) | Recipe

What's better than Nutella and Oreos? A Nutella and Oreo Crepe Cake of course! This is such an amazing dessert and will impress anyone. The sweet Nutella cream compliments the soft crepes really well which contrasts the crunchy oreo cookies scattered throughout the cake. You have to try this!

Nutella and Oreo Crepe Cake Recipe                                                                 Recipe by iSaamuel   INGREDIENTS;
Crepes
1 egg,
1 tablespoon of melted, unsalted butter,
120ml of milk,
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract,
65g of plain, all purpose flour, 
2 tablespoons of sugar

extra butter if your pan isn't non-stick

Nutella cream
320ml of heavy whipping cream,
1/2 cup of Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread),

8 crushed Oreo (chocolate sandwich cookies),

extra whipped cream and Oreos to garnish
 

METHOD;
Crepes
1. Whisk together the egg, butter, milk and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
2. Sift in the flour and the sugar and whisk well until there are no lumps of flour remaining.
Pour the batter through a strainer if there are lumps.
3. Heat a 5 inch non-stick pan on low to medium heat. Use butter to coat the pan if it isn't non-stick.
4. Pour 1/4 cup of batter on to the pan and swirl immediately to form an even circle throughout the pan. If there are gaps where there is no batter, pour in a little bit more.
5. The crepe is ready to be flipped when cooked for about 45-60 seconds and the top appears dry and 'puffed up'.
6. Cook the other side for around 30 seconds or until well golden brown.
7. Stack crepes on top of each other and using a cake mould that is slightly smaller than the crepes (5 inches), cut the edges off the crepes so that all of them are the same size.
8. Let them cool completely and meanwhile, we'll make the Nutella cream.

Nutella cream
1. Whip up the cream to soft peaks on high speed for 3-5 minutes. Make sure you don't over-whip the cream or else it'll start to separate and there is no going back once that happens- you'll have to start again.
2. Add in the Nutella and whisk until just combined.
Personally, I find this cream sweet enough but if you don't feel free to add sugar to taste, or extra Nutella.

Assembly
1. Take a crepe and smear the cream on top. Sprinkle on the Oreos evenly.
2. Repeat this process while remembering the layers- crepe, Nutella and then Oreos.
3. One you have one crepe remaining, place it on top and smear the Nutella cream on top, but this time, there is no need to garnish with the Oreo crumbs. Instead, garnish with piped whipped cream and whole Oreo cookies.
4. Place the whole cake in the refrigerator and refrigerate for 6 hours till overnight before serving.
Enjoy.

Oreo Chocolate Cake Recipe

A soft and rich Chocolate Cake sits on top of a crunchy, buttery Oreo base. All underneath a bed layer of whipped cream under a bed of fresh and sweet fruits.

Oreo Chocolate Cake Recipe                                                                                 Recipe by iSaamuel

INGREDIENTS;
15 Oreo cookies, crushed,
2 Tablespoons of Melted Butter,

45g of Bread flour,
2 Egg Yolks,
3 Tablespoons of Melted Chocolate Chips,
3 Tablespoons of Cocoa Powder,
2 Tablespoons of Oil,
3 Tablespoons of Milk,

2 Egg Whites,
50g of Sugar,

Whipped Cream, Fruits, Oreo cookies, and Powdered Sugar to garnish.

Oreo Cookie base
1. Crush 15 Oreo cookies in a plastic food bag with a rolling pin. Get rid of your stress and whack the cookies hard into fine crumbs. You could also use a food processor, but that's not fun!
2. Mix the crushed Oreo cookie crumbs with the melted butter until they are moistened like wet sand.
3. Pour the cookie mixture into a lined cake pan and press evenly across the base. Set aside in the fridge.

Making the Chocolate Cake
1. In a large mixing bowl, place the bread flour, egg yolks, melted chocolate chips, cocoa powder, oil, and milk. Whisk everything for about 3-5 minutes until the mixture is thick, and gluten strands should appear.
2. In another bowl, whisk egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy. Use your elbow grease or electric beaters if you'd like!
3. Gradually fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture gently, until everything is well combined. Do not over mix as this would deflate the air from the egg whites resulting in a hard, dense cake.
4. Pour the complete Chocolate Cake batter on top of the Oreo cookie base. Bake at 180C for 15-20 minutes.Let the cake cool before decorating.
5. To decorate, whip 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream with 1 tbsp of sugar until stiff peaks form. Transfer this mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe and decorate!

Garnish the cake with fresh fruits such as raspberries and blueberries or chocolate shavings and enjoy!
