    what you will need for this recipe:

    Chocolate cookies- we used Oreo sandwich cookies, but you can use any chocolate cookies that you’d like.
    Milk- we used whole milk for this recipe.
    Baking powder- the third and last ingredient for this 3 ingredient chocolate cake is baking powder, to help the cake rise well.
    This cake already has a delicious taste and texture, though, we like to add chocolate ganache for this cake, this step is absolutely optional.
    Chocolate ganache (optional):
    Heavy cream- use heavy cream or heavy whipping cream, both will work.
    Dark chocolate- use your favorite dark chocolate for the best flavor.
