Oreo Mug Cake Delight (Printer-Friendly)

A soft and chocolatey cake made by blending Oreo cookies and simple ingredients, ready in minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 4 Oreo cookies
02 - 3 tablespoons whole milk
03 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
04 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
05 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
06 - 1 small egg
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

# Method:

01 - Place Oreo cookies into a microwave-safe mug and crush thoroughly with a fork until finely crumbled.
02 - Add milk to the crushed cookies and mix until fully soaked, forming a thick paste.
03 - Stir in flour, sugar if using, and baking powder until evenly combined.
04 - Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, blending until the batter becomes smooth and uniform.
05 - Microwave the mixture on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Check for doneness; the cake should be set yet moist. If necessary, microwave an additional 10 to 20 seconds.
06 - Let the mug cake cool for 1 to 2 minutes before consuming directly from the mug.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes less time than scrolling through your phone, yet tastes indulgent and satisfying.
  • You can make it whenever that chocolate craving strikes without feeling guilty about a full-sized cake.
  • The Oreos do the heavy lifting flavor-wise, so there's almost no way to mess it up.
02 -
  • Microwaves vary wildly, so checking at ninety seconds rather than trusting a timer completely is non-negotiable, the difference between perfect and rubbery.
  • Over-mixing the batter makes it tough, so stir just until combined and don't feel compelled to make it perfectly smooth.
03 -
  • If you have self-rising flour on hand, use three tablespoons of it instead of the flour and baking powder combination for slightly less thinking.
  • Room temperature eggs mix in more easily than cold ones, so pull yours out while you gather other ingredients.
