INGREDIENTS USED IN 3-MINUTES ONE BOWL OREO CAKE

  • OREOS

This one-bowl Oreo chocolate cake is a rich, indulgent treat with an added twist of crushed Oreos in the batter. The Oreos bring a delightful crunch and their signature cookies-and-cream flavor, enhancing the chocolatey base for a more layered, satisfying bite. 

  • SUGAR

The most obvious reason is that sugar adds sweetness to the cake, making it enjoyable and satisfying to eat. In a microwave cake, sugar helps keep the cake moist, preventing it from becoming dry and crumbly during the cooking process.

  • OIL

Oil adds tenderness to the cake’s crumb. It coats the flour particles and interferes with gluten formation, resulting in a more delicate and less chewy texture. O is often easier to mix into cake batters compared to solid fats like butter. It can be blended more uniformly with other ingredients, ensuring an even distribution of fats throughout the batter.

  • YOGURT

Depending on the type of yogurt used, it can contribute a subtle tangy flavour to the cake. This tanginess can complement the sweetness of the other ingredients and add depth to the overall flavour profile of the cake. Yogurt can help bind the ingredients together in the batter, promoting a cohesive and well-structured cake. It adds moisture to the cake batter, helping to prevent the cake from becoming dry during the microwave cooking process.

  • MILK

Milk helps dilute the batter to achieve the desired consistency. This makes the batter easier to work with and results in a smoother texture. In recipes that use baking powder as a leavening agent, milk can react with it to produce carbon dioxide gas. This gas creates air bubbles within the batter, causing the cake to rise and become fluffy.

  • ALL PURPOSE FLOUR

Flour helps absorb the moisture from other ingredients in the batter, which contributes to the cake’s texture and prevents it from being overly wet. It is a primary structural ingredient in cakes. It provides the framework for the cake’s crumb and gives it a cohesive texture.

  • COCOA POWDER

Since it’s a Chocolate Cake recipe, one of the main ingredients to impart chocolate flavor is cocoa powder. . It gives that immense chocolate flavour to any dessert. You can use any good quality cocoa powder which is easily available to you in nearby grocery stores.

  • LEAVENING AGENTS

Baking powder and baking soda are used in this cake recipe as raising agents. Leavening agents introduce gas bubbles into the cake batter. When heated in the microwave, these bubbles expand, causing the cake to rise and become airy. The rise from leavening agents helps the cake cook more evenly in the microwave, ensuring that the center and edges of the cake cook at a similar rate.

EQUIPMENT USED FOR MAKING 3-MINUTES ONE BOWL OREO CAKE

Not a single day goes in my kitchen when I don’t use a Silicon Spatula, this is the one I recommend. Same goes for my set of Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons.

You also require a microwave to make this cake in 3-4 minutes.

If you want you can bake it oven too for 15-20 mins until skewer comes out clean.

TIPS TO MAKE 3-MINUTES ONE BOWL OREO CAKE

  1. Crush the Oreos into small pieces before adding them to the chocolate batter, so they distribute evenly and give a burst of Oreo flavor in every bite.
  2.  For the best texture, mix the crushed Oreos into the batter just before you microwave it. This keeps them from becoming too soft and helps maintain a nice, subtle crunch.
  3. Make sure the chocolate cake batter is thick but pourable. If it’s too thin, the Oreos may sink to the bottom, and if too thick, the cake might dry out.
  4. Microwave in short intervals to avoid overcooking, which can make the cake dry. Start with 3minutes and then check the texture, microwaving in 10-second intervals until done.
  5. After microwaving, let the cake cool for a minute or two. This helps it set properly and gives the crushed Oreos a chance to meld with the chocolate cake texture.
  6. For an extra Oreo punch, top the cake with a few more crushed Oreos, or add a drizzle of chocolate syrup for added richness.
