🥘 Ingredients

There are only 2 required ingredients in this mug cake. Adding the last two will make it extra fluffy and give it a boost of rich flavor.

• Oreo Cookies - This classic cookie always reminds me of childhood! You can use regular Oreos, Oreo Thins, Double Stuffed, or a single packet of mini Oreos like I am here.
• Milk - Dairy, soy, oat, nut milk - any kind will work.
• Baking Powder (optional) - Add this to make your Oreo mug cake light and fluffy.
• Vanilla Extract (optional) - I say optional, but I really mean that unless there's no vanilla extract in your house, it's pretty much a must-have. Vanilla highlights other flavors, so your mug cake will be that much better!

🔪 How To Make A Oreo Mug Cake

This is a great cake for a random craving or a last-minute guest. It only takes a few minutes from start to finish for a really beautiful and delicious dessert.

All you need to get started is a 12-14 ounce coffee mug, a measuring cup, and a spoon!

Step 1. Crush The Oreos

1. Crush the Oreos. Start out by crushing 4 Oreo cookies either by hand or in a food processor or blender. The latter will result in finer crumbs and a lighter mug cake. For the lightest cake possible, blend them to fine dust.
2. Mix the ingredients. Next, transfer the Oreo crumbs into a small bowl or microwave-safe mug. If using baking powder, combine it with the crushed Oreos now.

Step 2. Combine & Microwave

1. Add wet ingredients. Pour in 3 tablespoons of milk and the optional ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until there are no clumps. In order to ensure all of the Oreos have been moistened by the liquids, be sure to scrape the bottom of the mug with a spatula. If you’re using a bowl, transfer the batter into a microwave-safe mug.
2. Cook the cake. Set your microwave to high power and cook for 90 seconds to 2 minutes. It will vary by microwave. When it’s finished, the cake should be set and will spring back when you touch it.
3. Cool slightly. Allow the cake to set up and cool in the microwave for 1 minute before serving.

Serve with whipped cream and some extra Oreos or your other favorite toppings! My vanilla or chocolate nice cream would also be an excellent touch.

Any of your favorite cake flavors can be made into all types of mug cakes! Check out my recipes for both Nutella and vanilla mug cakes! They really are amazing for those late-night dessert cravings or those evenings when you don’t want to make an entire cake. 

💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes

1. Baking Soda & Vanilla Extract: Add baking powder for a lighter, airier cake texture. While not essential, it can transform your cake from dense to delightfully fluffy. Vanilla extract isn't crucial, but it significantly enhances the Oreo flavor. Use a high-quality extract for the best taste.
2. Presentation Perfection: Make your cake in microwave-safe ramekins for a more elegant presentation. They're ideal for serving a special dessert to guests or enjoying a fancier treat. Garnish with whipped cream and a cherry for an extra special touch.
3. Gooey Center Surprise: Elevate your mug cake with a molten center. Before cooking, add a dollop of peanut butter, Nutella, or a handful of chocolate chips to the batter. The filling will sink as it cooks and create a deliciously gooey core. It will be hot, so let it cool slightly before you enjoy it.

🥡 Storing & Reheating

Cake typically lasts 3-4 days at room temperature but will start drying out after that. If stored in the fridge, it may keep its moisture for another day or two. Either way, wrap it tightly with foil or plastic cling wrap, eliminating as much air as possible.

Cover your mug cake tightly in aluminum foil or plastic cling wrap to freeze it. It will be good for 3-4 months in the freezer before losing flavor. 

Reheating

There’s no need to reheat these. If you’re pulling your cake out of the freezer, leave it in the fridge overnight to thaw. It can take several hours.

Are you in a rush? Leaving your mug cake out on the countertop is fine if you’re going to eat it in a couple of hours.
