Oreo Mug Chocolate Cake (Print Version)

A quick, rich chocolate dessert using crushed Oreos and milk, cooked conveniently in a microwave mug.

# Ingredient List:

→ 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

# Recipe Steps:

01 - Place 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 mix until a smooth, thick batter forms.
03 - Stir in baking powder and sugar for a lighter, sweeter cake, followed by folding in chocolate chips if using.
04 - Microwave on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes until the cake rises and sets but remains slightly moist in the center.
05 - Allow cake to cool for 1 minute before serving. Optionally top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or additional crushed Oreos.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • A full chocolate cake ready before your tea even steams, turning a late-night craving into instant satisfaction.
  • So minimal you can make it half-awake, using ingredients already sitting in your kitchen.
  • That fudgy, tender center feels decadent without any actual effort or skill required.
02 -
  • Microwaves vary wildly—start at 1 minute and add 15-second bursts if needed rather than cooking the full 1.5 and accidentally turning your cake into a rubbery puck.
  • That slightly underbaked center is not a mistake; it's the entire point, so resist the urge to cook it until it looks totally set.
03 -
  • A microwave-safe mug with a wide mouth is essential—narrow mugs let the batter overflow more easily, and watching the rise happen is half the satisfaction.
  • Crushing the cookies by hand into the mug saves a dish and lets you feel the batter transform, which sounds silly but genuinely changes the experience.
