How to Make an Oreo Mug Cake in the Microwave
With just 2 ingredients, it is so quick and easy to make a moist, decadent dessert that tastes delicious! And it’s ready in 80 seconds! It’s perfectly portioned for a single-serving sweet treat.
- Add Oreos to a food processor to create a fine crumb consistency.
Pro Tip: You can also place your Oreos in a small plastic bag and smash them or crush them directly in the mug if you don’t mind your cake having little chunks of Oreo in it. - Add cookie crumbs to the mug and pour in the cream.
- Stir to combine.
- Microwave on high for 75-90 seconds.
Pro Tip: The cake is done when it is set and bubbly. It should loosely resemble a soft cake sponge. If it still seems a little wet, give the cake a little stir to mix in the liquid. It won’t look exactly like cake once it’s done. - Serve with a dollop of whipped topping and more Oreos crumbs for garnish, optional. Enjoy!
Tips
- If you mash your Oreos until they are of a very fine consistency, your cake will come out nice and smooth.
- If you want to make more than one mug cake, you should cook them separately in the microwave.
- For a fluffier mug cake, use ¼ teaspoon of baking powder when you add the cream.
- Don’t worry about the Oreos sticking to the side of the mug. The extra stuffing in the Double Stuf Oreos creates a little extra “oil” so that your Oreo Mug Cake doesn’t get crusty.
Storage Tips
- To Store: This mug cake should be eaten right away–I do not recommend storing it!
