What Makes the TikTok Oreo Mug Cake Special?
Most mug cakes are made with cake mixes or ingredients that typically go in a cake. With this Oreo mug cake, you are only using Oreos and milk.
The key to this Oreo mug cake is its combination of flavors. The rich chocolate-y taste of the Oreos perfectly compliments the softness of the milk and creates a delicious flavor that you won’t be able to resist. Plus, it has an added crunch from the crushed up Oreos sprinkled on top. It’s truly an indulgent treat that you’ll want to make again and again.

Can I Cook 2 at a Time?
You do not want to cook 2 Oreo mug cakes at a time. The heat will not be distributed evenly and the cakes will not cook evenly.
What Kind of Mug Should I Use?
Your mug needs to be big enough to hold the cake, you need to use a mug that holds at least 8 ounces, you can use a larger mug if that is what you have. Make sure you have room to add your toppings like whipped cream or ice cream.
How long does it take to cook a mug cake?
This mug cake takes 1-1.5 minutes to cook depending on your microwave. Some microwaves may take a bit longer to cook the chocolate mug cake, if you find that after the first 45 seconds you need more time, cook it in 15 second intervals to be sure that you do not burn it.
Tips for Making TikTok Oreo Cake in the Microwave
- Use whole milk or 2% milk. It is best to use a higher fat milk when you are making this recipe.
- Use a Microwave safe mug. It is important that you use a microwave safe mug.
- Spray mugs with non stick cooking spray. It is important to spray the mugs with non stick cooking spray before adding the cake batter so that it doesn’t stick to the mug.
- Consistency. When you are mixing the crushed Oreo cookies the cake batter will form, you want it to be a dark brown color when the cookies and milk combine.
- White cream on the top is normal. When you cook the Oreo cookie cake it will have white swirls on the top when it gets done cooking, that is normal and that is from the cream filling of the oreo.
How to Make It Fluffier
If you want the cake to be lighter and fluffier, instead of dense, you can add a pinch of baking powder to the cake. Sprinkle it on before adding the milk to the Oreos.
Can I Use Different Flavor Oreo Cookies?
Yes, you can use different flavors of Oreos this mug cake recipe. If you wanna make a vanilla Oreo mug cake use the golden oreos. You can use the holiday flavors as well to change up the flavor of this easy dessert recipe. Just make sure that the measurements of the ingredients remain the same and that you don’t use too many cookies.
What is the best way to crush the Oreo Cookies?
The best and easiest way to crush the cookies is to put them in the mug and crush them in there. This avoids having more mess than needed. If you want to you can toss the cookies into a food processor and make them into a finer crumble however I do not like doing that and adding extra clean up.
What toppings Can I use?
After cooking the delicious oreo mug cake in the microwave you can eat it as is or add some toppings. My favorite toppings are whipped cream and a bit of chocolate drizzle.
- Drizzle of chocolate sauce. If you want to add more chocolate hot fudge or chocolate sauce is a great topping.
- Whipped cream. I like using homemade whipped cream.
- Ice cream. It is delicious with a scoop of ice cream! I personally prefer a scoop of vanilla ice cream while a few of my kids love it with a scoop of chocolate ice cream.
- More Oreos. Of course you can add more Oreos, add another Oreo cookie a plastic bag and crush it and then sprinkle them on top after it is done cooking or place a full oreo on top.
How Long Does it Last?
