Oreo Mug Cake Delight (Print Version)

A quick, soft chocolate cake made with Oreo cookies for an indulgent treat.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Base

01 - 4 Oreo cookies
02 - 3 tablespoons milk
03 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
04 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
05 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
06 - 1 small egg
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a microwave-safe mug and crush thoroughly with a fork until finely crumbled.
02 - Add milk to the crumbled Oreos and stir until the mixture forms a thick, soaked paste.
03 - Incorporate flour, sugar if using, and baking powder. Mix until fully combined.
04 - Add the egg and vanilla extract if desired, stirring until the batter is smooth and uniform.
05 - Microwave on high power for 1 minute 30 seconds. Check the cake; it should be set but moist. If needed, heat an additional 10 to 20 seconds.
06 - Allow the cake to cool for 1 to 2 minutes before enjoying directly from the mug.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Ready faster than you can pour a glass of milk—seriously, five minutes from craving to cake.
  • No mixing bowls, no cleanup drama, just you, a mug, and pure chocolatey satisfaction.
  • The Oreos do the heavy lifting flavor-wise, so even if you're not a baker, this tastes intentional.
02 -
  • Microwave power varies wildly, so that 1 minute 30 seconds is a starting point, not a guarantee—check the texture before going longer or you'll end up with a rubbery brick.
  • Don't skip the cooling time because the cake actually continues to set as it sits, turning from molten center to actual cake.
03 -
  • The mug itself is part of the cooking vessel, so warmer ceramic holds heat better than cold stoneware—I always use the same mug now and the results are consistent.
  • Don't be scared to pull it out slightly underbaked because it continues to cook from residual heat and actually improves as it cools.
