This recipe may sound “too good to be true”, but this quick and easy recipe definitely makes a sumptuous chocolate cake- without even breaking a sweat as you would with the usual oven-baked cakes that we usually see.

As listed in the video, all you need for the cake are the following:

  • 28 pieces Oreo cookies (14 cookies, separated from filling)
  • 1Tsp baking of powder
  • 1 cup of milk (245ml)

Of course, to actually set the cake you’ll need a couple of other items:

  • cooking oil
  • chocolate ganache
  • and cooking pans, preferably 2 pieces as shown in the video

1. First, prepare two bowls and then take the Oreo cookies. Remove the filling of each Oreo cookie, then put the cookies and the fillings in their respective bowls – set the fillings aside.

2. Next is cookie-crushing time! Put the cookies in a ziplock and crush them.

Make sure to crush the cookies as refined as possible.

3. Once the cookies are almost powder-like, put them in a large bowl, then mix them with a tablespoon of baking powder.

4. Pour a cup of milk (245ml) into the mixture (cookies and baking powder). Whisk it thoroughly into a batter before adding the Oreo fillings that you have set aside earlier. (I hope that you haven’t eaten it yet.)

5. Pour the batter into a deep non-stick pot or pan. Place another shallow non-stick pan over a burner on low heat for and nest your pot with the cake batter on it, letting it cook for about 40 minutes.

To know when it’s done, poke it with a clean pointed object, no trace of the cake should stick on it.

6. Once done, remove it from heat then flip it on your desired tray or container.

Pour the chocolate ganache on top of the cake and let it drip all the way to the bottom.

Making sure the top and sides are completely covered.

7. Finally, add your desired toppings and enjoy!
