Step-by-Step Guide to Making Oreo Mug Cake
Step 1: Prepare Your Mug
Start by lightly spraying the inside of a microwave-safe mug with cooking spray. This step ensures that your cake won’t stick to the mug, making cleanup easier and ensuring a perfectly formed cake.
Step 2: Crush the Oreos
Place your Oreo cookies into a plastic bag. Using a rolling pin or the back of a spoon, crush the Oreos into coarse crumbs. Be careful not to over-crush them into a powder; you want to leave some chunks of cookie for added texture.
Step 3: Mix the Batter
In the prepared mug, combine the crushed Oreos, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, and 3 tablespoons of whole milk. Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and no lumps remain. The consistency should resemble a thick cake batter.
Step 4: Microwave the Cake
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes. Keep an eye on the cake as it cooks—it should rise and become firm in the center. The exact cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage, so it’s important to watch carefully to avoid overcooking. Typically, 1 minute and 30 seconds works well for most microwaves.
Step 5: Let It Cool and Serve
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave, as it will be hot. Let the Oreo Mug Cake cool for about a minute before digging in. For extra indulgence, top your mug cake with whipped cream, ice cream, or more crushed Oreos. Now, take a spoon and enjoy your decadent, easy-to-make dessert.
