Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
Oreo biscuits
-
Milk
-
Baking powder
-
Optional: sugar (if I want it sweeter)
-
Optional: chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or a pinch of salt
-
Optional toppings: chocolate ganache, whipped cream, extra crushed Oreos
Directions
-
I crush the Oreo cookies into a fine powder using a food processor or by sealing them in a zip-top bag and smashing with a rolling pin.
-
I transfer the crushed cookies to a bowl and add baking powder, then pour in the milk gradually while stirring to form a smooth, thick batter.
-
I lightly grease a cake pan, ramekin, or microwave-safe bowl and pour the batter in.
-
For microwave: I microwave on high for 4–5 minutes, depending on the power level.
-
For oven: I preheat to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cake for about 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
-
I let the cake cool slightly, then remove it from the pan and top it with ganache, whipped cream, or crushed Oreos if I want a little flair.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes 4–6 servings, and it takes 5 minutes to prep, 5 minutes to cook in the microwave, or about 25–30 minutes if baking in the oven, for a total of 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the method I use.
Variations
Sometimes I add chocolate chips or chopped nuts for texture. For a mocha twist, I stir a teaspoon of instant coffee into the milk. I’ve also layered it with whipped cream or frosting to turn it into a mini Oreo layer cake. If I want a vanilla version, I use Golden Oreos.
storage/reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, I microwave a slice for 10–15 seconds to bring back the soft texture. I don’t recommend freezing, as the texture can get a bit dense once thawed.
FAQs
Do I need to remove the cream from the Oreos?
No, I crush the entire cookie with the cream—it helps bind the batter and adds sweetness.
Can I make it without baking powder?
Baking powder helps the cake rise, so I always include it. If I don’t have it, I sometimes use a pinch of baking soda with a few drops of vinegar or lemon juice.
What type of milk works best?
I usually use regular dairy milk, but almond or oat milk also works well for a dairy-free version.
Can I make this in a mug?
Yes! I reduce the quantities and microwave in a mug for a quick Oreo mug cake—usually takes just 1–2 minutes.
Is this cake too sweet?
It depends on the Oreos and milk I use. I rarely need extra sugar, but I taste the batter before baking and adjust if needed.
Conclusion
Oreo Biscuit Cake is a simple, no-fuss dessert that brings big chocolate flavor with minimal effort. I love that it’s made with pantry staples and can be ready in minutes. Whether I make it for myself or share it with friends, it’s always a hit—and once I see how easy it is, I find myself making it again and again.
