Our Oreo cake in a mug is an indulgent treat that’s sure to wow any chocoholic. This scrumptious single-serving dessert is so quick and easy and tastes like a fudgy and moist cake topped with fluffy whipped cream; all made in a matter of minutes in your microwave.
Oreo Cake in a Mug Ingredients
You’ll need:
- ⅔ cup finely crushed Oreo cookie crumbs (8 cookies)
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
For the Garnish
- Squirt whipped topping
- 1 Oreo cookie, roughly crushed
PRO TIP:
You can crush your cookies in a heavy-duty zip-top bag with a rolling pin for easy cleanup if you are just making a single mug cake. If you want to make a few mug cakes, you can put more cookies into a food processor to pulse them into fine crumbs. You can store a large quantity of cookie crumbs in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 2 weeks.
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
MILK: I made this easy mug cake recipe with whole milk, but you can easily swap that out for 2% milk if that is what you have on hand. Almond milk also works as a dairy-free alternative.
OREOS: You can use any flavor of Oreo cookies for this delicious cake recipe. I would use a standard cookie and not the Double Stuf Oreos versions.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS: You can omit the mini chocolate chips if you wish, as they do not affect the cooking time or alter the recipe; however, they do add a touch of added moistness to the cake. You can even double them if you really want to increase the indulgence level of this Oreo cookie cake in a mug.
How to Make This Oreo Cake in a Mug Recipe
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
This delicious Oreo mug cake only makes a single serving. Double the recipe to share this rich cake with a friend. Microwave cakes one at a time if you are making more than one.
STEP ONE: In a 10 to 12 ounce microwave-safe mug, add the finely crushed Oreos and milk. Stir to combine.
PRO TIP:
Using a wider and shorter cup works best and makes it easier to scoop out your cake.
STEP TWO: Add the mini chocolate chips and baking powder and stir the mug cake batter again.
PRO TIP:
The baking powder in this recipe is not necessary, but it does help to give the mug cake a slightly lighter texture and lift when cooked.
STEP THREE: Microwave on high power for 1 minute and 45 seconds.
PRO TIP:
My microwave is 1000 watts. You should check your cook time at 1 minute 30 seconds and adjust cook time in 10 to 15 second intervals according to your microwave.
STEP FOUR: Allow the Oreo mug cake to cool for 30 seconds before adding the squirt of whipped cream and sprinkle of additional crushed Oreo cookie or any other favorite toppings.
PRO TIP:
This decadent Oreo mug cake recipe should be enjoyed immediately.
How To Serve
This single-serve cake is the perfect treat for an afternoon snack, along with a refreshing iced tea. If you are looking for something a little extra, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce on top might be just the thing.
Our vanilla mug cake and chocolate mug cake are two more delicious variations of this easy recipe.
