Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 5 Oreos
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • ⅛ tsp (a pinch) baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 3½ tbsp milk

Toppings (Optional)

  • 1 crushed Oreo to add on top
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Ice cream (optional)
  • Caramel sauce (optional)
  • Chocolate sauce (optional)
  • Thick creamy heavy cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk and crush Oreos: Pour 3½ tablespoons of milk into a microwave-safe mug and heat it in the microwave until just warm. Add 5 Oreos into the mug and crush them thoroughly with a fork until no large pieces remain. The warm milk softens the Oreos making them easier to crush.
  2. Add dry ingredients and mix: Add 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and ⅛ teaspoon (pinch) of baking powder to the mug. Gently mix all ingredients together until just combined, being careful not to overmix to avoid a tough or dense cake. For a neat appearance, you can wipe the inner walls of the mug before mixing.
  3. Microwave the mug cake: Place the mug in the microwave and cook for about 1 minute. Check the cake’s top surface; it should look mostly set but still a bit moist to maintain softness inside. If it appears too raw and liquidy, continue microwaving in 10-second increments until the desired consistency is reached. Cooking times can vary depending on your microwave and mug size.
  4. Cool and add toppings: Let the mug cake sit for about a minute after microwaving to finish cooking as it cools. Optionally, sprinkle 1 crushed Oreo on top. You may also add whipped cream, ice cream, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, or thick creamy heavy cream to enhance the flavor. Enjoy your warm, delicious treat with a glass of milk if you like.

Notes

  • Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave wattage and mug size.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and tender.
  • Use a microwave-safe mug to avoid any damage or safety issues.
  • Adjust toppings as preferred for extra indulgence.
  • The cake is best enjoyed warm immediately after cooking.
