Oreo Microwave Chocolate Cake (Printable)

A quick, fudgy chocolate cake using Oreo crumbs and milk, microwaved to perfection in minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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

# Directions:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a microwave-safe mug and crush them thoroughly using a fork or spoon until fine crumbs form.
02 - Add milk to the mug and stir until a smooth, thick batter forms.
03 - If desired, incorporate baking powder and sugar for a lighter, sweeter texture, then fold in chocolate chips for added richness.
04 - Microwave on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes until the cake has risen and set but remains moist in the center; times may vary by microwave wattage.
05 - Allow the cake to cool for 1 minute. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or extra crushed Oreos if desired before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's genuinely ready before your cravings fade away.
  • No mixer, no mess, no guilt about making a full cake for one person.
  • That warm, gooey center hits different when you're the only one eating it straight from the mug.
02 -
  • Overcooking this cake by even 30 seconds can turn the fudgy center into something rubbery, so watch it closely after the first minute.
  • The cake continues cooking slightly as it cools, which is why pulling it out when the center still looks a bit moist is the trick to getting that perfect soft texture.
03 -
  • If you want a vegan version, use plant-based milk and vegan sandwich cookies—they work just as well and no one will notice the difference.
  • A mug cake is never worse for being topped with a little whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup, so don't skip that final touch if you have them on hand.
