Ingredients For 3 Ingredient Oreo Cake

Oreos- Crushed Oreo cookies are the main component of this recipe. You will need a single pack of Oreos if you want this easy Oreo cake to have even more decorations. 

Milk-The milk helps to bind the Oreos together. It also adds a tremendous amount of flavor. You can also use something like heavy whipping cream if you like.

Chocolate Sprinkles-  The reason for me adding chocolate sprinkles in this Oreo mug cake recipe is to add a flavorful and decorative suprise! The sprinkles also enhances the texture to the soft cake,adding a bit of crunch.

The complete list of ingredients can be found in the recipe card below.

How To Make an Oreo Mug Cake?

Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.

In a microwave-safe mug, add the Oreo crumbs,and milk. Stir well until all the ingredients are combined and there are no lumps.

Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set in the middle. Note that cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s power.

Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot), and let it cool for a few minutes.

Optional: Serve the Oreo mug cake with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream on top for extra indulgence.

 Variations 

Chocolate Chips- The best part about this chocolate cake is that you can sprinkle in some chocolate chips. What or dark chocolate? It’s entirely your preference. Don’t add too much. I would say about ¼ cup should do the trick, my friend.

Peanut Butter Oreo Cake- If you love peanut butter, add a layer between the Oreo cake for a delicious peanut butter twist. You will have to make two cakes for this. After chilling, spread a thin layer of peanut butter on top of the ingredient Oreo cake.

Kid-friendly Oreo Cake Balls- Roll the Oreo mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes, then dip them in melted chocolate to create Oreo balls or Oreo cake balls.

Cream cheese frosting-  You can make a frosting for this viral TikTok recipe or store-bought frosting. 

​Oreo Biscuit- With the cake, you can make them into large cookie pieces or make what I like to call an Oreo biscuit. How? Follow the steps listed above, but instead of placing the mixture.
