Oreo rich chocolate cake (Printable)

A quick, fudgy chocolate treat with crushed Oreos and milk, microwaved for instant indulgence.

# What You'll 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 granulated sugar
05 - 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

→ Topping (optional)

06 - Whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or crushed Oreo cookies

# How To Make It:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a microwave-safe mug and crush thoroughly using a fork or spoon until fine crumbs form.
02 - Add milk to the mug and mix until a smooth, thick batter develops.
03 - If desired, stir in baking powder and sugar for a lighter, sweeter texture, then fold in chocolate chips for extra richness.
04 - Microwave on high power for 1 to 1.5 minutes, until the cake has risen and set but remains slightly moist in the center. Adjust time based on microwave wattage.
05 - Allow to cool for 1 minute before serving. Optionally top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or additional crushed Oreos.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in under five minutes with ingredients you probably already have in the pantry
  • The texture is incredibly fudgy and rich, like a cross between a brownie and molten lava cake
  • Perfect portion control means you get instant satisfaction without a full batch of leftovers
02 -
  • Every microwave behaves differently so start with 1 minute and add time in 15 second increments to avoid overcooking
  • The cake continues cooking slightly as it cools so removing it while the center looks slightly underbaked is actually correct
  • Overmixing the batter can make the texture tough so stir just until combined and no more
03 -
  • Use room temperature milk for better absorption into the cookie crumbs
  • If the batter seems too thick add milk one teaspoon at a time until it reaches a brownie batter consistency
  • This dessert is best enjoyed immediately as it can become dense as it sits
