Ingredients required for Oreo mug cake
- Oreo Biscuits: This recipe’s main ingredient is Oreo biscuits, which serve as a chocolate base for our mug cake. You need to crush the Oreo biscuits for this recipe. For the best result, use the classic Oreos, but you can also use the other Oreo flavor if you like.
- Hot Milk: Hot milk will help the Oreo biscuits melt entirely and create a smooth, warm, moist, blended Oreo biscuit mixture.
- All-Purpose Flour: All-purpose flour gives the Oreo mug cake structure and strength and serves as a base.
- Sugar: Sugar will add sweetness to the Oreo mug cake.
- Baking Powder: Baking bread helps the mug cake to rise and form a fluffy and smooth texture.
- Cocoa powder will add more chocolaty flavor to the chocolate Oreo mug cake.
- Melted Chocolate and Sprinkles: These are optional toppings. I like the melted chocolate topping and sprinkles on my favorite mug cake. You can replace the toppings with your favorite toppings, like whipped cream and melted white chocolate, and with your favorite vanilla or chocolate ice cream scoop.

- Vanilla ice cream scoop on top.

Expert Tips
- Mix all ingredients well and ensure no lumps before being in the microwave. It’s better to sift the all-purpose flour and other dry ingredients before adding them.
- Measure all the ingredients before making the moist and soft chocolate Oreo mug cake.
- Use ordinary cocoa powder in this recipe for an original, classic taste. I don’t recommend using Dutch-processed cocoa, as it will turn your mug cake bitter.
- Use hot milk to dissolve the Oreo biscuit in it well. Don’t use too hot milk.
- Submerge the Oreo biscuit in the center and ensure the batter covers it. It will result in outstanding taste in the center.
- The cooking time in different microwaves may vary, so check on the cake occasionally. If your mug cake is ready in 20-30 seconds, don’t worry; it’s because of your microwave power.
Storage option
I don’t recommend storing this mug cake. Consume it fresh for better taste.

FAQ’s for This Oreo Mug Cake
Why is my mug cake rubbery?
The main reason your mug cake is rubbery is the inappropriate measurements of the ingredients. Also, check the mug cake for overcooking by occasionally heating it in the microwave. You can carry out the toothpick test to confirm that it is cooked.
Why don’t mug cakes use eggs?
Mug cake recipes are always eggless because of the small space of the mug and the short cooking time. An egg will take up a whole mug space with a small amount of batter. That’s why it is an eggless Oreo mug cake recipe.
How do you keep a mug cake moist?
To moisten your mug cake, sprinkle water on the batter before putting it in the microwave. This will prevent the mug cake from becoming moist. Don’t worry much, though, because water evaporates in the microwave.
Why does my mug cake taste like flour?
The main reason is the ratio of dry to wet ingredients. Take dry ingredients like all-purpose flour in less quantity than wet ingredients or follow the recipe measurements of ingredients.
