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.

Turned out delicious! Fancied it up with finely chopped pecans and sliced strawberries in two and decorated the top!
This is good when made with gluten-free oreos too!
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.
How do you make the Chocolate Ganash?
I saw 7 ingredients…. and not all directions for using all these 7 ingredients.
Are you dumb or you didn’t go to school because there are actually three ingredients for the cake and the remaing four are for the ganache which is optional for your information, so you’re welcome.
Why are all of your comments hot garbage? Who pissed in your oreos? All of your comments are disgusting ans stupid. Did you actually think you were being “funny” with your trolling? I get it. your username is “Don’t Care” what a genius name there, edgelord. So if you don’t care, why did you waste so much time on this blog? You obviously care if you threw away that much of your life trolling.
It tasted so good I loved it 😋😋😋😋😋😍😍😍
Your recipes are great
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.
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
Can you use water instead of milk?
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!
Hey, just wondering- how many cookies is 350 grams of Oreos? Thanks!
about 30-31 Oreos
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
