TikTok’s Trending Mug Cake Recipes for 2025 You Need to Try

When someone says “TikTok trending mug cake,” the first thing that comes to mind is the legendary Oreo mug cake—and rightly so. It’s iconic, indulgent, and easy enough to whip up while binge-watching your favorite series. But 2025 has arrived, and with it, a whole new wave of dreamy mug cakes is stealing the show—recipes so good, they’re redefining comfort food one spoonful at a time.

From the gooey richness of peanut butter banana to the elegant sweetness of raspberry white chocolate, these single-serve delights are not just trending—they’re transforming the way we think about desserts. And the best part? You don’t need fancy pans or endless prep time. All you need is a trusty microwave-safe ceramic mug (hello, CURVD), a few pantry staples, and a craving worth satisfying.

Let’s explore the top TikTok trending mug cake recipes for 2025—each tested, perfected, and given a personal touch by yours truly.

1. Oreo Mug Cake – The Internet’s Darling

Ingredients:

• 6 Oreos

• 4 Tbsp milk (any kind)
  
  

How to Make:

1. Place Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush until finely ground.

2. Add to a microwave-safe mug and pour in the milk. Stir until it forms a smooth batter.

3. (Optional but amazing): Place an extra Oreo on top for added crunch.

4. Microwave for 1 minute, then an additional 10–20 seconds if the center looks soft.

5. Top with your faves—ice cream, whipped cream, hot fudge, even M&Ms.
   
   

Chef’s Tip:

Use a ceramic mug with a slightly flared lip (like CURVD’s!)—it helps the cake cook evenly and makes every bite pillowy soft. We also recommend making a delicious Japanese coffee jelly on the side and complete the evening joy!

Tips & Tricks from the Mug Cake Master

• Use a microwave-safe mug that’s 12–14 oz. CURVD mugs are not just gorgeous—they're functional, and their wide base ensures even cooking.
  
  

• Don’t overmix. Just enough to combine is perfect. Overmixing can make your cake rubbery.
  
  

• Know your microwave. If it’s lower wattage, extend cook times in 10-second intervals.
  
  

• Try layering. For the Oreo and Biscoff versions, add a second layer mid-way while filling the mug for double the goodness.

FAQs

Can I use plant-based milk instead of dairy?

Absolutely. Almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk all work beautifully in these recipes.

What if I don’t have baking powder?

You can make a quick substitute using 1/4 tsp baking soda + 1/2 tsp vinegar (white or apple cider). Add it when mixing wet ingredients.

Why is my mug cake rubbery or dry?

Likely overcooked or overmixed. Stick to the recommended times and gently combine ingredients.

Can I make mug cakes ahead of time?

Best enjoyed fresh, but you can mix the batter and store in the fridge (especially for the PB banana one) for up to 24 hours.
