3-Ingredient Chocolate Cake Recipe
This 3-ingredient chocolate cake also known as lockdown cake has been viral all over the internet in the last few months. I decided to give it a try and I was surprised how easy this cake and how good it is. All you need is some cookies/biscuits, baking powder and milk. The result is soft, fluffy and delicious cake. If you are making this cake with Oreo cookies, the cake will taste like Oreo.

Your face is disgusting and that’s why your family abandoned you cause you’re too ugly to be a human being you wretchet human being(if I can even call you a human being) byeee…
I tried this recipe and it worked great! I had to leave the cake in the oven an extra ten minutes, but it turned out well and tasted great! Super moist and yummy, 10/10
Hey, just wondering- how many cookies is 350 grams of Oreos? Thanks!
about 30-31 Oreos
I used double stuff oreos plus chips ahoychoc chip cookies and the batter was VERY wet…probably due to the stuffing…so i just crushed up a lot more cookies until the batter felt almost normal thickness. Came out absolutely delicious, like a cake brownie…but I did have to bake it nearly 15 mins longer!
Can you use water instead of milk?
Do you need to include the cream of oreos in the batter?
Yes leave the cream in the Oreos biscuits.
I would use milk over water because the flour mixture used to bake biscuits binds better with milk. Use alternative milk if not cows milk, unsure how it would taste, mind.
I added 100g Mcvities plain digestive and about 250g Oreos, this cake turned out amazing. Because I used plain digestive, it wasn’t as sweet as it would’ve been with choc locate digestives but it was fine for us, particularly as we added ganache topping. It was beautifully moist a
It looks rubbery and bland but the TASTE… THIS IS HEAVEN!!!
Does it look or rubbery or bland, because the last time I checked it’s supposed to feel rubbery and bland. Guy I think some of your sense orgabs are missing.
It tasted so good I loved it 😋😋😋😋😋😍😍😍

How do you make the Chocolate Ganash?
It’s spelled ganache you illiterate.
How long dose this cake last for after you Back it just wondering
Well wonder somewhere else Alice or I’ll push you in a rabbit hole, or in other words I’ll push you over a cliff.
Wow, I’m surprised you can type let alone push anything off a cliff – especially with you head so far up your own ass. That’s an achievement. I think you should try shitting down your own throat next since you’re already so we’ll accomplished. Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
