Ingredients
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 crushed cookies
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 4 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Use a fork or a small whisk to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined.
- Add 3 tablespoons of milk and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the dry mixture in the mug. Stir the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth batter, making sure there are no lumps.
- Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder and gently fold it into the batter. This will help your mug cake rise while cooking.
- Crush 2 cookies of your choice (such as Oreos or chocolate chip cookies) and fold them into the batter. This will add texture and flavor to your mug cake.
- Microwave the mug on high for about 1 minute. Keep an eye on it as microwaves can vary in power; the cake is done when it has risen and is set in the middle.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it may be hot). Allow it to cool for a minute before enjoying your delicious cookies cream mug cake directly from the mug.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and more even cooking.
- Be careful not to overcook – microwave times can vary, so start with 50-60 seconds and adjust as needed.
- Choose your favorite cookies for crushing – Oreos work great, but feel free to experiment!
- For an extra indulgent touch, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce on top.
- Make sure to use a microwave-safe mug that's at least 12 oz to prevent overflow during cooking.
- Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two to avoid burning your mouth and to allow the texture to set perfectly.
- If you want a richer cake, substitute some milk with heavy cream or add a splash of vanilla extract.
