Oreo Mug Chocolate Cake (Print View)

Single-serve rich chocolate treat with Oreo base, ready quickly using simple ingredients and microwave cooking.

# Ingredient List:

→ 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 - Crushed Oreo cookies

# Directions:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a microwave-safe mug and crush thoroughly with a fork or spoon until finely crumbled.
02 - Add milk to the mug and stir until a smooth, thick batter forms.
03 - If desired, mix in baking powder and sugar for a lighter, sweeter texture, then fold in chocolate chips for extra richness.
04 - Microwave on high power for 1 to 1.5 minutes until the cake has risen, set, and remains slightly moist in the center. Cooking time may vary by microwave wattage.
05 - Let the cake cool for one minute before topping with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or extra crushed Oreos if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like real chocolate cake but takes less time than ordering delivery.
  • No mixing bowls, no cleanup chaos, just one mug and a fork.
  • Perfect for when you want dessert now, not someday.
02 -
  • Overcooking by even 15 seconds turns it from fudgy to rubbery—start checking at 45 seconds if you have a high-wattage microwave.
  • The cake continues cooking after you pull it out, so that slightly jiggly center will set perfectly during the one-minute rest.
03 -
  • For a vegan version, swap regular milk for plant-based and use vegan sandwich cookies instead of Oreos.
  • If the mug is too hot to hold, wrap it in a kitchen towel while eating—the residual heat keeps the cake perfectly warm.
