Whether you’re treating yourself after a long day or whipping up a last-minute dessert for movie night, this quick Oreo mug cake always delivers.
Believe it or not, the idea of a “mug cake” skyrocketed in popularity thanks to the rise of microwave cooking in the early 2000s. It offered a fun, fast, and portion-controlled way to enjoy dessert without turning on the oven. Now, it’s a go-to for students, busy parents, and home cooks everywhere.
So, if you’re all about easy recipes with maximum flavor, this one’s for you. Not only is it super satisfying, but it’s also endlessly customizable. Add a scoop of ice cream or drizzle of chocolate sauce—and suddenly, dessert is done.
Recipe Yield: 1 mug cake
INGREDIENTS
6 Oreos (original, not Double Stuf)
1/4 cup whole milk
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Crush the Oreos:
Place Oreos in a 10–12 oz microwave-safe mug. Use the back of a spoon to crush into fine crumbs, until it resembles dark chocolatey sand.
2. Stir the batter:
Pour in the milk and mix until well combined. Then add the flour and stir again until smooth and thick like cake batter. Make sure there are no dry spots hiding at the bottom!
3. Microwave the cake:
Microwave on high for 75–90 seconds, depending on your microwave’s wattage. The cake should rise and look set but still feel soft to the touch. Let it cool for 1–2 minutes before eating (trust us—it’s hot!).
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use Room Temperature Milk:
Cold milk can make the batter clump. A quick 10-second microwave before mixing helps everything blend smoothly. - Don’t Overcook:
Start with 75 seconds and check. Over-microwaving dries it out—you’re going for fluffy and moist, not rubbery. - Top It Off Right:
A scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle of chocolate sauce, or even crushed Oreos on top makes this a total dessert win.
