Oreo Mug Cake Recipe.
The Oreo mug cake recipe is very easy to prepare. Just follow the simple steps given below.
Ingredients:
- 8 Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional for a slightly fluffier texture)
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Crush Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a Ziplock bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or any heavy object.
- Mix Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the Oreo crumbs, milk, vegetable oil, baking powder, and salt. Stir well until you have a smooth batter.
- Microwave: Microwave the mug on high for about 1-2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s wattage. Keep an eye on it to prevent overflow.
- Check Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out mostly clean (with a few moist crumbs), the cake is made. If not, microwave in 30-second increments until done.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before digging in. You can top it with whipped cream, more crushed Oreos, or a scoop of ice cream if desired.
What Makes your Oreo mug cake Recipe fluffier?
Most of us can experience that even though we have made the batter well. But still, we might fail in getting that fluffy to the cake. One of the most important points to keep in mind while cooking is how much time have you to microwave the mix. 1-2 minutes is far more than enough to cook. Well, if you want me to be more specific regarding this, it depends on the microwave that you use. If you are using a more powerful microwave (> 1100 watts). Then it will be better if you reduce the cooking time to 10 seconds.
Another point that decides the texture is how well you have prepared the batter. Make sure you have properly stirred up the Oreo and Milk at the start. To know whether you made the batter properly please check that the Oreo is completely mixed well in the milk. Usually, it might take a minute or a minute and a half for proper stirring.
And if you are trying to make two or more mug cakes at a time then it is recommended that you do not microwave two mug cakes at the same time.
Can I Store Mug Cakes?
In my opinion, I would suggest that these kinds of cakes are best to consume instantly. Enjoying the hot and fluffy cake will give you a mouth-watering experience.
