Everyone loves milk and Oreos together, but they’re even better in the form of a mug cake. It’s warm, gooey, and perfect for satisfying your craving for something extra sweet. Mug cakes are made in a cup and cooked in a microwave. It’s as easy as that! They only take about minutes, which is perfect if you want to have something sweet as soon as possible.

The Yummy Recipe

This recipe only consists of two ingredients. You simply need five Oreo cookies and a ½ cup of milk. Follow the instructions, and you’ll get a soft fudgy cake with a crunchy top.

To make it, place four of the Oreo cookies in a mug and crush them until you get crumbs. Add the milk and mix everything to get a cake batter-like texture. Put the mug in the microwave and cook for one minute at first. Try the toothpick trick, and if it doesn’t come out clean, microwave at 10-second intervals until the cake is completely cooked. Put the last cookie on top and enjoy your dessert while it’s still warm!

Tips and Tricks

To make sure your cake is entirely cooked, stick a toothpick into the center and see if it comes out clean. Also, the cake shouldn’t be sticky to the touch.

If your microwave’s wattage is lower than 700, the cake might be undercooked. Simply give it extra time and check every 10 seconds to ensure you don’t overcook it.

Ways to Customize It

This is a one-person cake, so you can make it to your taste. To make it even better, you can try a few different tweaks. For example, instead of regular Oreo cookies, you can go for the Golden ones, which taste like vanilla. You can also add a few chocolate chips to the mixture before microwaving. It will make the cake richer and with a gooier center.

Pour some warm fudge or caramel sauce over the warm cake for that extra sweetness, if you’re a fan of sweet and salty flavors, a pinch of salt will make your cake irresistible. If you prefer to cut down on some of the sweetness, fresh berries or raspberries will balance the taste perfectly, as would crushed nuts. Finally, you can add whipped cream or ice cream for a touch of creaminess. However you decide to go about it, this mug cake will help you curb your sweet tooth!
