This Oreo box cake recipe with just three ingredients is going viral
So many people are living their best Great British Bake Off lives during lockdown, despite the fact that flour is near impossible to get hold of (unless you make the most of this genius idea from Morrisons).
But forget complicated recipes that require a hundred and one ingredients and a number of appliances - this Oreo box bake is so easy that it's perfect for both new and pro-bakers.
Oh, and you only need three ingredients. Perfect.
Influencer Eloise Head has shared the recipe on her Instagram page, Fitwaffle, and it has already proved popular with her followers, garnering almost 60,000 likes and over 800 comments.
She shares mouthwatering pictures of food and bakes, and this one is super simple.
Alongside a video of the delicious dish, she writes: '3-INGREDIENT OREO ICE BOX CAKE!! If you didn’t see it on @fitwafflekitchen yesterday here’s the recipe.
'This is the perfect summer dessert and it’s so freaking easy!! Sound on for full instructions.'
