Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 Oreo cookies (NOT double stuffed)
- 3 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare Cookie Crumbs: Add the Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse until you obtain fine crumbs. This ensures even mixing and a smooth texture in the mug cake batter.
- Mix Ingredients: In a 6 to 8-ounce microwave-safe mug, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs, Irish cream, and baking powder. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined and forms a batter.
- Microwave Cake: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. Afterward, check the cake’s doneness by inserting a toothpick; if it does not come out clean, continue microwaving in 10-second intervals until cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the mug cake to cool for 2 to 3 minutes to set and avoid burning. Top with your favorite toppings such as whipped cream, chocolate chips, or a dusting of cocoa powder, then enjoy warm.
Notes
- Use regular Oreos rather than double stuffed to maintain the right texture and balance of flavors in the mug cake.
- Irish cream liqueur adds moisture and flavor, so avoid substituting with non-alcoholic liquids for the best result.
- Microwave powers vary; monitor the cake closely during cooking to prevent overcooking.
- Experiment with toppings like whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or crushed nuts for extra indulgence.
