Oreo Mug Cake

I’m on a mug cake streak. I have been making mug cakes every day for a sweet treat to cap off the night. Is it wrong to have cake everyday? Maybe it’s wrong, but it feels so right, especially when it’s Oreo mug cake!

Um, please give me all the Oreos. They are my one true store-bought cookie weakness. I just love the combination of that dark cocoa cookie and creamy center. Heck I even love ALL the seasonal varieties.

Anyway, we almost always have a package of Oreos in the pantry – that is unless I’ve eaten them all. When I saw all those videos about the two ingredient TikTok Oreo mug cake floating around I wanted to try it too. But I almost couldn’t bring myself to do it because I love eating Oreos just as they are. Plus I also have a killer mug cake recipe that is super easy and delicious.

I decided to do a side-by-side taste test. The results will shock you! Or will they?!

I ended up liking my Oreo mug cake better. It was more moist and fluffy and it tasted more like cake. The Oreo and milk only mug cake was good…if you’re desperate. JK JK it tastes kind of like a very dense chocolate cake. It was a little molten and gooey in the centre.

What is a mug cake?

A mug cake is a cake baked in a mug, in the microwave. It’s perfect for a single serving and super easy to make. Mug cakes are great for treats, snacks, and desserts. Maybe even in the morning? JK pls don’t eat cake for breakfast. Unless it’s coffee cake.

What is TikTok Oreo mug cake?

TikTok Oreo mug cake is a mug cake recipe that’s floating around where you make a mug cake using only two ingredients: Oreos and milk. The oreos are crushed up and mixed with milk then microwaved into a cake. Obviously they are really, really easy to make.

Mug cake tips and tricks

• Always microwave your mug cake on a plate. Even though I have my mug cakes down to an art and I know exactly how high they will rise, I always microwave on a plate because if there’s some sort of freak accident where my mug cake overflows, I don’t want to be cleaning cake out of the microwave.
• Start off microwaving for 1 minute then add 10 seconds as you go. Some microwaves are stronger than others plus it really depends on how soft and gooey you like your cake. For my microwave, 1 minute 10 seconds is perfect.
• Use a microwave safe mug! I probably shouldn’t have to say this one, but yes, please use a microwave safe mug, not plastic.
• For the oreo and milk only mug cake be sure to crush up your oreos as fine as possible, so that it almost looks like flour.

What kind of mug should I use?

For my Oreo mug cake, I suggest using a mug that’s big enough to hold 1 and 3/4 cups water. To find out if you mug does this, take a measuring cup and measure out 1 3/4 cups water into your mug. There should be a little bit of space on top still. If it fits, it sits and you’re good to go.

For the Oreo and milk only mug cake, you can pretty much use any mug as long as it’s not tiny. There isn’t a lot of rise with that mug cake, so go ahead and use your favorite mug as long as it’s not an espresso cup.
