Recipe Tips

Oreo cookies. You can make this mug cake using any Oreo cookie flavor variety desired meaning that you can choose the original chocolate Oreos, golden Oreos, mint chocolate Oreos, and then some. There are so many different flavor options for these cookies that it’ll be hard choosing which one to try first! Just think of all of those incredible possibilities!
The right sized mug. You’ll want to use a good sized mug for this recipe. A standard 10-12 ounce should be more than fine. Larger mugs mean that the cake won’t pop out over the top as it cooks, so there won’t be a mess to clean up after your dessert has finished its spin in the microwave.

FAQs

How long is Oreo mug cake good for?

This cake is best eaten when freshly made and still warm. This is a single serving dessert that’s perfect for enjoying hot and fresh in one sitting. It can be kept in the fridge for up to a day, but the texture and flavor are best when freshly made.

Is Oreo mug cake vegan?

This recipe can be made vegan-friendly by choosing to use a nondairy milk like soy, almond, or oat. Oreo cookies are naturally vegan and none of the other ingredients required to make this mug cake require animal products.

Why is my mug cake dry and rubbery?

Your cake should be light and fluffy but if it turns out rubbery or dry there are a few reasons why this could be starting with an overmixed batter or too long in the microwave. Not everyone’s microwaves run at the same heat so some cook faster than others. I recommend making sure to keep a close eye on your mug cake the first time you make it so that you can get a good idea of how long it actually takes to cook. The top centers should look a little wet while the rest of the cake should look dry. The centers will dry as the cake sits for a minute before eating.
