Introduction
At Looksyumy, we believe that simplicity is the secret ingredient. Our journey began in a small kitchen, with just three ingredients and a craving for something delicious. No fancy tools. No complicated recipes. Just honest food, made with love.
That first meal sparked an idea: What if we could create truly satisfying recipes using only 3 ingredients? From that moment on, Looksyumy became more than a recipe collection. It became a movement — a celebration of real food for real life.
Today, I’m sharing a recipe that perfectly embodies our philosophy: the 3 Ingredient Biscuit Cake. This ingenious dessert requires no eggs, no oil, and absolutely no baking expertise. Whether you’re a busy parent short on time, a student working with a limited pantry, or simply someone who appreciates minimalist cooking, this recipe is your new secret weapon.
Picture this: you’ve just finished a box of your favorite biscuits, and there are crumbs left at the bottom. Instead of tossing them aside, you turn them into a surprisingly delicious cake. With just three pantry staples and less than an hour, you’ll have a dessert that looks impressive but feels effortless.

The Three Magic Ingredients
Crushed Biscuits (350g)
This is the foundation of your cake. Any dry, lightly sweet biscuit works well. Graham crackers are classic, but digestive biscuits, vanilla wafers, or gluten-free biscuits also work beautifully. When crushed finely, the biscuits replace traditional flour and provide structure, flavor, and texture.
Baking Powder (1 tablespoon)
Baking powder gives the cake its lift. Use aluminum-free baking powder for the cleanest flavor. This single tablespoon transforms crushed crumbs into a cake that holds together while staying tender inside.
Milk (1.5 cups)
Milk binds everything together and hydrates the crushed biscuits. You can use regular milk or any plant-based alternative. Using plant-based milk makes the recipe dairy-free, while regular milk works perfectly if dairy is allowed.
How to Make Your 3 Ingredient Biscuit Cake
Step 1: Crush the Biscuits
Place the biscuits in a food processor and blend until you get a fine, flour-like powder. You’ll need about 2 cups of powder from 350g of biscuits. If you don’t have a food processor, place the biscuits in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
Transfer the biscuit powder to a bowl and add the baking powder. Mix well so the baking powder is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Add the Milk
Pour in the milk and stir until you get a thick, smooth batter. The texture will be thicker than traditional cake batter — that’s normal. Slightly warm milk can make mixing easier, but it’s optional.
Step 4: Prepare the Pan
Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and tap it gently on the counter a few times to remove air bubbles.
Step 5: Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes. The top should be golden and firm, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Let the cake cool slightly before slicing.
Serving Notes
This 3 Ingredient Biscuit Cake is best enjoyed plain, allowing the biscuit flavor to shine. Toppings are optional and not part of the base recipe. Keeping it simple preserves the true spirit of a three-ingredient dessert.
