Expert Tips

  • Mix all ingredients well and make sure to not leave any lumps before you put it in a microwave. It’s better to sift the all-purpose flour and other dry ingredients before adding.
  • Measure all the ingredients before using to make the moist and soft, chocolate Oreo mug cake.
  • Use ordinary cocoa powder in this recipe for an original classic taste. I don’t recommend you use Dutch-processed cocoa because it will turn your mug cake to 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 make sure it is covered by the batter. It will result in outstanding taste in the center.
  • The cooking time in different microwaves may vary. So, check on the cake from time to time. If your mug cake is ready in 20-30 seconds, then 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

The main reason that your mug cake is rubbery is because of the inappropriate measurements of the ingredients being used. Also, check the mug cake from overcooking by checking the mug cake from time to time in the microwave. You can carry out the toothpick test to confirm that it is cooked.

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 space of a mug with a small amount of batter. That’s why it is an eggless Oreo mug cake recipe.

To keep your mug cake moist, sprinkle some little water on the mug cake batter before putting it in the microwave. This will prevent the mug cake from becoming moist. Don’t worry much because water evaporates in the microwave.

The main reason is the ratio of dry to wet ingredients. Take the dry ingredients like all-purpose flour less in quantity than wet ingredients or simply follow the recipe measurements of ingredients.
