If I had to choose one biscuit to eat for the rest of my life, it would be Oreos. Creamy filling sandwiched between two chocolate cookies — pure comfort. Turning my favorite biscuit into a cake felt like the perfect idea. This Oreo biscuit cake is simple to prepare and absolutely delicious. One slice won’t be enough.
First, a quick thank you for the warm response to my Parle-G cake recipe. With many of us cooking from limited pantry supplies, I’m sharing easy recipes to help satisfy dessert cravings. This Oreo biscuit cake is eggless, flourless, and made without cocoa powder. You only need five common pantry ingredients. Top it with a chocolate cream cheese frosting as I did, or enjoy it plain — either way it’s a winner.
Ingredients Overview
This Oreo biscuit cake uses very few ingredients, so it’s easy to make even with a limited pantry.
Oreo biscuits
Use plain or chocolate Oreos for the best result, though any flavored variety will work if you prefer something different.
Dry ingredients
Just sugar and baking powder. I used caster sugar and a standard baking powder — either will do the job for this recipe.
Other ingredients
Milk helps make the cake moist and binds the biscuit crumbs. I also add a touch of instant coffee to deepen the chocolate flavor; it’s optional but recommended if you enjoy the combination of coffee and chocolate.
Substitutions and Variations
If you don’t have every ingredient on hand, here are simple swaps to still make this cake:
- Any chocolate sandwich biscuit — such as Bourbons or other store-brand chocolate cookies — can replace Oreos.
- Swap caster sugar for brown sugar, granulated sugar, or another sweetener you prefer.
- To make a vegan version, use plant-based milk. Most Oreo varieties are vegan-friendly, which makes this recipe easy to adapt.
- If you don’t like coffee, omit the instant coffee — the cake will still be rich and chocolatey.
The cake pairs well with a chocolate cream cheese frosting, but it is delightful on its own if you don’t have frosting ingredients available.
Cooking Methods
This Oreo biscuit cake is versatile: you can cook it in a pressure cooker, oven, or microwave. I’ve made it in a pressure cooker and it works well, but baking in an oven or convection microwave is equally straightforward.
Pressure cooker tip: do not add water to the cooker. Use a wire rack on the base, place the cake pan on the rack, and preheat the closed cooker (without the whistle) on medium heat for about 10 minutes before adding the pan.
Baking Guidelines for Oven or Microwave
For an oven, bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 25–35 minutes. In a convection microwave, bake at 180°C for around 25 minutes. Baking times may vary with oven/microwave models; check doneness with a skewer inserted into the center — it should come out clean.
If you love Oreos, try other Oreo-based desserts like Oreo cheesecake bars or chocolate Oreo truffles for more ideas.
Recipe: Oreo Biscuit Cake (Eggless)
- 300 grams Oreos
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp instant coffee powder (optional)
- Preheat the pressure cooker for 10 minutes on medium heat without the whistle, using a wire rack on the base. (If using an oven, preheat to 180°C.)
- Roughly break the biscuits and place them in a food processor with the sugar. Blitz until finely ground and uniform.
- Transfer the biscuit crumbs to a bowl, add the baking powder and coffee (if using), and mix well.
- Add the milk and vanilla, stirring until the mixture forms a smooth, cohesive batter.
- Grease a 4-inch baking pan with oil or butter, line it with parchment paper or dust with flour, and pour in the batter.
- Place the pan on the wire rack inside the preheated pressure cooker, close the lid, and cook for 45–50 minutes. For oven baking, bake at 180°C for 25–35 minutes. In a convection microwave, bake at 180°C for about 25 minutes.
- Check doneness with a skewer — it should come out clean. Let the cake cool completely before unmolding and frosting if desired.
This simple Oreo biscuit cake is a quick, comforting dessert that makes the most of pantry staples. Enjoy it plain, or top it with your favorite frosting for an indulgent finish.
