This Oreo cake in a mug is delicious! It's not overly sweet and there are yummy Oreo cookies in every bite. It's not a mud cake with oreos, it's more of a cookies and cream cake.

I topped mine with some vanilla buttercream frosting and some more crushed Oreo cookies on top, which are great with this mug cake.

If you don't have a microwave oven, you can put the cake batter in an oven safe bowl and bake it in the oven at 350℉ (180C)  for about 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Baking Measurements

I have used weight measurements for all the recipes on this website. Even though I have also included American volume measurements for convenience, I highly recommend using a digital kitchen scale to weigh all ingredients for the most accurate measurements. Digital kitchen scales are more precise than cups, which is so important in baking, and they give the most accurate, consistent results. Happy baking!
