Oreo Mug Chocolate Cake (Printable Version)

A quick, rich chocolate cake made with Oreos and milk, prepared instantly in the microwave for one 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 extra crushed Oreos

# Directions:

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

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • You can satisfy a chocolate craving in under five minutes without guilt or cleanup.
  • It tastes genuinely decadent despite using ingredients already in your pantry.
  • Each bite stays soft and fudgy in the middle, never dry or overdone.
02 -
  • Overcooking kills this recipe—the magic is in that soft, slightly moist center, so stop before you think you should.
  • Microwave wattage matters more than you'd expect, so the first time you make it, check at 60 seconds rather than blindly hitting 90.
03 -
  • Keep a mental note of your microwave's personality—test your first cake at 60 seconds, then adjust up or down based on how it looks.
  • Use a slightly larger mug than you think you need because the cake rises more than you'd expect.
