Craving a rich, gooey chocolate cake but don’t have access to an oven or microwave? Don’t worry; we have got you covered! Whether you're a student in a hostel, living in a minimal kitchen setup, or just in the mood for something quick and fuss-free, this 3-ingredient chocolate cake recipe is the perfect hack to satisfy your dessert cravings.

3 ingredients you need

Chocolate biscuits: around 20–25, like Parle-G Hide & Seek Fab, Oreo, or Bourbon

Milk: approx. 1 cup, at room temperature

Baking powder: 1 tsp

Optional: You can also add a handful of chocolate chips or a spoon of cocoa powder for an extra punch.

How to make it: Follow the step-by-step guide

Crush the biscuits: Start by crushing the biscuits into a fine powder. You can do this in a blender or place them in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Make sure there are no lumps.

Add milk and baking powder: Transfer the crushed biscuits into a mixing bowl. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring until you get a smooth, pourable batter. Then, mix in the baking powder evenly.

Grease your pan: Take a small, thick-bottomed non-stick pan or kadai. Grease it lightly with butter or oil and line it with parchment paper or dust it with some flour to prevent sticking.

Steam it: Place a stand or ring in a larger deep pot or pressure cooker (without the whistle). Add 1–2 cups of water and bring it to a gentle boil. Put your cake tin inside, cover with a lid, and steam for 30–40 minutes on low to medium heat. You can check with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, your cake is ready.

Cool and serve

Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan. You can top it with melted chocolate, powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream if you like.
