Oreo Mug Chocolate Cake (Printable)

A rich and fudgy chocolate cake blending crushed Oreos with milk for a quick, microwaved dessert.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 4 Oreo sandwich cookies
02 - 3 tablespoons milk (whole, 2%, or plant-based)

→ Optional Add-Ins

03 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
05 - 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

→ Topping (optional)

06 - Whipped cream
07 - Chocolate syrup
08 - Extra crushed Oreo cookies

# Directions:

01 - Place the Oreo cookies in a microwave-safe mug and crush thoroughly using a fork or spoon until finely crumbed.
02 - Add the milk to the crushed Oreos and stir until a smooth, thick batter forms.
03 - If desired, mix in the baking powder and sugar for a lighter, sweeter texture, then fold in chocolate chips for additional richness.
04 - Cook on high power for 60 to 90 seconds, until the cake has risen and set but remains slightly moist in the center. Note cooking times may vary by microwave wattage.
05 - Allow to cool for one minute before enjoying. Optionally, top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or extra crushed Oreos.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Five minutes from craving to spoon in hand, no kitchen cleanup required.
  • Tastes decadently fudgy and rich despite requiring just a handful of ingredients.
  • Endlessly customizable depending on what you find in your pantry.
02 -
  • Overcooking turns your fudgy cake into something tough and rubbery; pull it out when the center still jiggles slightly.
  • Crushing the cookies fine is essential—chunks create uneven textures and prevent proper binding.
03 -
  • Add a tiny pinch of salt or half a teaspoon of vanilla extract to deepen the chocolate flavor.
  • If your cake isn't cooked through, give it another 15 seconds rather than a full minute—microwave cooking is unforgiving.
