Description

This simple and delicious 3-Ingredient Oreo Cake is perfect for any occasion, combining the rich flavors of Oreo cookies and chocolate ganache. Prepared effortlessly in an air fryer, it’s a moist, decadent dessert that’s sure to impress with minimal ingredients and time.


Ingredients

Cake

  • 14 oz package Oreo cookies
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder

Chocolate Ganache

  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Grease a 6-inch cake pan thoroughly and set aside to ensure the cake doesn't stick.
  2. Mix Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs (crushed finely), baking powder, and milk. Stir until fully combined into a thin batter.
  3. Pour Batter: Pour the thin batter evenly into the greased cake pan, smoothing the top if necessary.
  4. Air Fry Cake: Place the cake pan inside the preheated air fryer. Cook for 15 minutes, then carefully turn the pan and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool Cake: Remove the cake from the air fryer and allow it to cool completely in the pan.
  6. Prepare Chocolate: Finely chop the semi-sweet chocolate bar to facilitate easy melting.
  7. Heat Cream: Place the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 1 to 2 minutes until it’s hot and steaming but not boiling.
  8. Make Ganache: Remove the cream from the microwave and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt completely, then stir until you get a smooth, glossy ganache.
  9. Cool Ganache: Allow the ganache to cool for 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly but is still pourable.
  10. Apply Ganache: Spoon the ganache evenly over the cooled cake, covering the surface completely for a rich chocolate finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the Oreo cookies are finely crushed for a smooth batter consistency.
  • Turning the pan halfway through cooking promotes even baking in the air fryer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before adding ganache to prevent it from melting.
  • Chocolate ganache can be made ahead and refrigerated; warm gently before use.
  • Use a 6-inch cake pan to ensure proper cooking; adjust times if using a different size.
