Fast, chocolatey treat with Oreos ready in minutes. Soft and indulgent dessert for any craving.

# What You Need:

→ Base

01 - 4 Oreo cookies
02 - 3 tablespoons whole milk
03 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
04 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
05 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
06 - 1 small egg
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a microwave-safe mug and crush thoroughly with a fork until finely crumbled.
02 - Add milk and stir until cookies are fully soaked and form a thick paste.
03 - Mix in flour, optional sugar, and baking powder until well incorporated.
04 - Incorporate egg and optional vanilla extract, stirring until batter is smooth and uniform.
05 - Cook on high power in microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds. Verify cake is set but moist; if needed, microwave for an additional 10–20 seconds.
06 - Allow cake to cool for 1–2 minutes before enjoying directly from the mug.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's ready faster than most people can decide what to watch, and somehow tastes better because of it.
  • You get that soft, almost-underbaked chocolate texture that feels indulgent without requiring actual baking skills.
  • The Oreo crumbles create little pockets of cookies-and-cream magic throughout the cake.
02 -
  • Microwave ovens vary wildly in power, so the first time you make this, stay nearby and check at 1 minute 15 seconds—better to add 10 seconds than to explode your cake or dry it out.
  • The cake will seem wet when it comes out but continues cooking slightly as it cools, so resist the urge to nuke it longer just because it looks underdone.
03 -
  • Use the highest wattage mug you can find—ceramic conducts heat better than thin plastic and gives you a more evenly cooked cake.
  • If you only have self-rising flour, use 2 tablespoons of that and skip the baking powder entirely, which saves you from having to hunt for it.
