3 Ingredient Vanilla Cake
This easy vanilla cake doesn't need eggs, butter or an oven. It's ready in about 10 minutes!
Ingredients
- 27 Oreo Golden Sandwich Cookies, or other vanilla sandwich creme cookies
- 2 tsp (9.5 g) aluminum free baking powder
- 1 cup (237 ml) low fat milk
Instructions
- Grease the interior of a 6 inch round silicone cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Other microwave-safe containers and bowls of similar size can also work.
- Add Oreos to a blender. Blend Oreos until they are fine crumbs. (If your blender is not powerful enough to grind down dry ingredients, see notes section for more ways to prepare the batter.) Add in baking powder and milk. Mix until batter is smooth.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Place into microwave and cook at full power for about 6 minutes. I cooked mine in an 1100 watt microwave. Cooking time may need to be reduced or increased depending on your microwave wattage. When cake is finished, a toothpick inserted should come out clean and the cake should pull away from the sides of the pan. Let cake cool completely before removing from pan. If desired, frost with your favorite frosting before serving.
Notes
- I used my Vitamix blender* to make this recipe. Many high powered blenders are able to grind just dry ingredients without any liquid. If your blender is not able to do that, you can first crush the Oreos and then add them into the blender. The Oreos can be crushed in a food processor or by hand (seal the cookies in a bag and use a heavy object to crush them).

- See post for potential ingredient substitutions.
- I frosted my cake with buttercream frosting. You can also dust with powdered sugar or use a whipped cream frosting.
- Optional Buttercream Frosting: For the frosting I used, you will need 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature), 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1.5 tbsp of milk. Cream butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the sugar and continue beating until sugar is fully incorporated. Add in the vanilla and milk and beat again on high speed for about 3 minutes or until frosting increases in volume and becomes very light and silky. You can add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
