Easiest 3 Ingredient Chocolate Cake
This is the easiest chocolate cake recipe ever. It is so good you won’t believe that it only requires 3 ingredients!
The prepping time in itself is just five minutes, so it’s perfect for a last minute dessert or birthday party. I also think it’s a great Mother’s Day treat that kids can easily make for Mom with adult supervision. You do need a grown up to help with the food processor and the oven, but children can help pour the batter or even press the food processor pulse button.
Until I made this 3 ingredient chocolate cake recipe, I had never thought of using crushed cookies as cake mix. Now that I tried it, I am considering using the same technique with other types of cookies.
How do you know when the cake is done? Simply insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake. When it’s done, it will come out clean.
