Easy Microwave Mug Cake
This Oreo mug cake is based on the viral TikTok version that only used Oreos and milk. Even though this recipe has more ingredients, it is so much better with improved texture and way more flavor. And it’s still ridiculously easy.
To make this easy Oreo mug cake, you just need to combine a few ingredients in a bowl, pour it into the mug, add your toppings, and microwave for just over a minute. Each bite is filled with Oreos and rich, chocolatey goodness. I like to drizzle some heavy cream over mine along with some whipped cream for added moisture and an even more decadent treat.
With this Oreo microwave cake, there’s no chilling or waiting – you can dive in as soon as it’s prepared whenever that chocolate craving hits!
Helpful Tips & Variations
- Use a large mug. Use a mug that’s microwave safe and holds at least 1 & 3/4 cups of liquid. This is best in a large mug, but one that’s more shallow instead of tall. If your mug is too small, the cake can rise over the top and make a mess!
- Make sure all ingredients are combined well. Be sure to stir the mixture until it’s completely smooth, with no lumps, so you don’t have pockets of dry ingredients in your cake.
- Whole milk substitutes. For best results use whole milk. You may substitute low fat milk or non dairy milk for the whole milk if needed, but note that the texture will not be quite the same.
- Don’t skip the oil. In addition to the milk, vegetable oil helps create moisture in the cake.
- Try it with a different cookie. You can use ANY Oreo cookie for this mug cake – try Golden, Mint, Birthday cake, etc.

How Long Do You Need To Microwave A Mug Cake?
This Oreo mug cake takes 1 minute and 10 seconds for me, but of course, this can vary depending on the mug you use and your particular microwave. It will also depend on how soft and gooey you like your cake. Start off microwaving for 1 minute, then add 10-second increments until it’s properly cooked through but not dry.
TikTok Oreo Mug Cake Serving Suggestions
I like to top my Oreo mug cake with just a drizzle of heavy cream and then some whipped cream. However, if you want to go all out, feel free to add a scoop of ice cream, some chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, and even a cherry too. Or sprinkle some additional cookie crumbs or mini chocolate chips over the whipped cream. It all depends on how decadent you want to be!
Can This Be Made In Advance?
Mug cakes are best enjoyed soon after preparing them, while they’re still warm from the microwave. Unfortunately, the texture does not lend well to being warmed up again and will dry out the mug cake. But the great thing about these microwave cakes is that they can literally be whipped up anytime in just over 5 minutes!
