No-Oven Chocolate Cake is a rich, moist, and fudgy dessert made without baking. Perfect for those who don’t have an oven, this cake is steamed or chilled to perfection and topped with a silky chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate biscuits (such as Oreos or Digestives)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp instant coffee (optional, for enhanced flavor)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate (for ganache)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (for ganache)

Instructions

  1. Grease and line a round cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix crushed biscuits with melted butter and press into the bottom of the pan to form the base.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, cocoa powder, coffee, and vanilla. Stir in baking powder.
  4. Pour the batter over the biscuit base and smooth the top.
  5. Place the pan in a steamer or large pot with boiling water, cover, and steam on medium heat for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely. For the ganache, heat heavy cream and pour over chopped dark chocolate. Stir until smooth.
  7. Spread ganache over the cooled cake, chill for at least 1 hour, slice, and serve.

Notes

  • Use good quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • You can refrigerate the cake overnight for a firmer texture.
  • Add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra richness.
