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.

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!
