Oreo Mug Cake Ingredients:

• Milk: You can use any type of milk for this recipe, whether it’s regular dairy milk (whole milk) or non-dairy milk (soy milk, oat milk, etc.). I prefer whole milk, as it adds flavor and richness to the recipe.

• Granulated sugar – Adding finer sugar to the cake batter can produce a more fluffy and moist cake. If you use granulated sugar instead, the cake texture might become denser, but it will still taste delicious.

• Baking powder – Adding baking powder to the batter is essential to ensure the cake rises and becomes fluffy.

• Oreos—I used traditional Oreo cookies to make this recipe. You can try using other brands or flavors to see what works best for you.

• Melted chocolate– For the topping.

How to Make Oreo Mug Cake

To prepare a delicious Oreo mug cake

• Add four Oreos into the microwave-safe mug and crush the Oreos into pieces.

• Add milk, baking powder, and sugar to the mug and mix all the ingredients until everything is well combined, and a paste-like mixture forms. It is important to ensure that the mixture is free of lumps to achieve an even texture in the mug cake, which will result in a more enjoyable eating experience once it is cooked.

• Dip the Oreo into the mixture and cover it with the batter.

• Place the mug into the microwave and cook for about 70–90 seconds (depending on your microwave) until the batter becomes firm.

• Once the cake is ready, allow it to cool down for 5 minutes before eating.

• Add crushed Oreos and Melted chocolate at the end, and enjoy.

Tips for Success

• When making a cake in a mug, choosing the right size mug is important to avoid any mess. Always use a mug with enough capacity to hold the liquid so the cake cooks evenly and doesn’t overflow. Using a small mug can cause the cake to overflow and create a mess, so choose the right size for your recipe.

• Make sure all ingredients are combined well. Be sure to stir the mixture until it’s completely smooth, with no lumps, so you don’t have pockets of dry ingredients in your cake.

• To have a perfect cake, it’s important to measure all ingredients accurately. Make sure to use the appropriate measuring cups and spoons (teaspoons or tablespoons) for each ingredient.

• If you want to make a perfect Oreo mug cake, it’s important not to overcook it. The best way to achieve this is by understanding your microwave. If your microwave has a higher wattage than 1100 watts, you’ll need to reduce the cooking time, and if it has less than 1100 watts, you’ll need to increase the cooking time by a few seconds. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to start with a shorter time and adjust accordingly.

• You can customize this recipe as you liking. You can use Oreos of any kind (mint, golden, etc.) and replace milk with your favorite or non-dairy one.
