Oreo Mug Cake Chocolate (Printable)

A quick indulgent chocolate mug cake with Oreo cookies and a tender crumb.

# Ingredient list:

→ 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:

01 - Place the Oreo cookies in a microwave-safe mug and crush thoroughly with a fork until finely crumbled.
02 - Add milk and mix until the cookies are fully soaked and form a thick paste.
03 - Stir in flour, sugar (if using), and baking powder until the mixture is well combined.
04 - Mix in the egg and vanilla extract (if using) until the batter is smooth and uniform.
05 - Microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds. Check doneness; the cake should be set yet moist. Microwave an additional 10–20 seconds if necessary.
06 - Let the mug cake cool for 1 to 2 minutes before serving directly from the mug.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready to eat in five minutes flat, no planning or advanced prep required.
  • You can make it directly in the mug you'll eat from, which means minimal cleanup and maximum laziness points.
  • Tastes like an indulgent dessert but feels like cheating because it was so easy.
02 -
  • The baking powder is non-negotiable if you want actual cake texture; without it, you'll get a fudgy cookie brick that's dense and gluey.
  • Every microwave is different, so watch that first minute and a half closely—some will cook this cake in 60 seconds while others need the full two minutes.
03 -
  • Always check the Oreo package if you have nut allergies, as cross-contamination can happen during manufacturing.
  • If your egg is large, use slightly less milk since the batter will be wetter and may overflow.
