In a microwave-safe mug, add flour, sugar, and baking powder. Mix well so everything is evenly combined.
Pour in milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and lump-free.
Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and mix gently until evenly distributed.
Microwave the mug cake for about 70 seconds. Start with 50 seconds, then heat in 5-second bursts until the cake is cooked through.
While the cake is still warm, gently push 1 tablespoon Nutella into the center.
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and a few drops of milk until smooth and creamy.
Spread the frosting over the slightly warm mug cake.
Sprinkle crushed Oreos on top and enjoy immediately.
Add chocolate chips for extra chocolate flavor.
Replace Nutella with peanut butter or Biscoff spread for a different twist.
Add a pinch of instant coffee powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Microwave wattage varies. Start cooking at 50 seconds, then continue heating in 5-second bursts until the cake is set but still moist.
