Oreo Mug Chocolate Cake (Print Version)

Quick, fudgy chocolate cake with Oreo crumbs, microwave-cooked for a single sweet serving.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

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

→ Optional Add-Ins

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

→ Topping (optional)

06 - Whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or crushed Oreos

# How To Make It:

01 - Place the Oreo cookies in a microwave-safe mug and crush thoroughly with a fork or spoon until fine crumbs form.
02 - Add milk to the mug and stir until a smooth, thick batter forms.
03 - Stir in baking powder and sugar if a lighter, sweeter cake is desired.
04 - Fold in chocolate chips for extra richness if using.
05 - Microwave on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes, until the cake has risen and set but remains slightly moist in the center. Adjust cooking time according to microwave wattage.
06 - Allow to cool for 1 minute before serving. Optionally, top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or crushed Oreos.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's genuinely faster than scrolling through your phone, and somehow tastes like you actually tried.
  • No mixer, no bowls, no cleanup—just a mug and a fork between you and chocolate cake bliss.
  • Works at midnight, after dinner, or whenever a sudden craving strikes without judgment.
02 -
  • Microwaves vary wildly in power—start at 1 minute and check it; overcooked mug cakes turn rubbery in seconds, but slightly underdone is perfect.
  • The mug gets hot, so don't grab it with bare hands, and be careful when stirring because the batter heats from the bottom up.
03 -
  • Keep the mug slightly underfilled so the batter has room to rise without spilling over the sides into your microwave.
  • If you're doubling this for two people, make two separate mugs instead of one large batch—timing gets unpredictable in bigger portions.
