Craving something chocolatey but short on time—or ingredients? This three-ingredient, flourless cake has taken the internet by storm, racking up millions of views for its simplicity and rich flavor. I first discovered it on a lazy Sunday afternoon: my roommate and I were staring at an empty pantry, no eggs in sight, when we stumbled on the idea. Ten minutes later, we had a silky batter ready for the fridge. While it chills, you’ve got time for a quick walk or to catch up on that show you’ve been binge-watching.
Nutritionists at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health praise oats for their heart-healthy soluble fiber, which helps lower cholesterol, while the American Heart Association recommends dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more) for its antioxidant benefits. Combining these powerhouse ingredients makes this cake not just a guilt-free treat, but a snack you can feel good about.
Ingredients and simple steps
Here’s all you need to whip up this viral sensation:
Ingredients
- 170 g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 375 g full-fat coconut milk
- 220 g rolled oats
Method
- Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
- Heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer—watch it closely to prevent a boil-over.
- Pour the hot coconut milk over the chocolate, letting it sit for a minute so the chocolate starts to melt. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Fold in the rolled oats until fully coated in the chocolate mixture.
- Line an 18 cm (about 7 in) cake tin with parchment paper, then pour in your batter. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firmly set—this no-bake approach relies on the cold to transform the mixture into a cake.
When it’s time to serve, simply unmold, slice into wedges, and enjoy a slice that’s rich, fudgy, and surprisingly satisfying. Whether you’re entertaining friends or treating yourself after a long day, this effortless cake proves that sometimes the best recipes are the simplest.
