Oreo Microwaved Chocolate Cake (Printable)

Fudgy chocolate cake made with crushed Oreos and milk, ready in minutes using a microwave.

# What You Need:

→ Base

01 - 4 Oreo cookies
02 - 3 tablespoons milk (whole, 2%, or plant-based)

→ Optional Add-Ins

03 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1 teaspoon sugar
05 - 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

→ Topping (optional)

06 - Whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or extra crushed Oreos

# How-To Steps:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a microwave-safe mug and crush thoroughly with a fork or spoon until fine crumbs form.
02 - Add milk to the mug and stir until the mixture becomes a smooth, thick batter.
03 - If desired, incorporate baking powder and sugar for a lighter and sweeter texture, then fold in chocolate chips for additional richness.
04 - Heat the mug on high power for 60 to 90 seconds until the cake has risen and set but retains slight moisture in the center. Adjust time based on microwave wattage.
05 - Allow the cake to cool for one minute before serving. Optionally, top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or extra crushed Oreos.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's genuinely faster than scrolling social media, and way more rewarding.
  • You already have the ingredients if you've got Oreos hiding somewhere in your kitchen.
  • The fudgy center with crispy edges hits different than any boxed brownie mix ever could.
  • It feels like you're getting away with something delicious on a weeknight when you absolutely shouldn't.
02 -
  • Overcooking this by even thirty seconds turns your fudgy cake into a dry sponge, so stay close and learn your microwave's timing personality.
  • The cake continues cooking slightly after you remove it, so that jiggly center in the middle is actually perfect—trust it.
03 -
  • Use a mug that's microwave-safe and ideally larger than it seems necessary—batter rises more than you'd expect.
  • Keep a fork in the mug while you eat it; you're going for cozy comfort, not pretending this is anything other than what it is.
