Step by step homemade baking recipes
Today my guest host Paityn joins me on a Backpack Baking adventure! We are hiking to a local lookout in the Canadian Rocky Mountains where we use the Bemco Backpacking oven to make three different Oreo Mug Cakes. You can make these mug cakes in the microwave, or in a regular oven at home.

Let’s talk Oreo’s.
Chocolate cookie wafers with a cream filling. Vanilla wafers with cream filling. Chocolate wafers with birthday cake cream filling. The list of Oreo flavours goes on and on! I wish we could get all of the flavours in Canada- actually, strike that, no I don’t, as then I would eat them! I found the Gingerbread Oreo’s on the shelf at Target this passed Christmas and they were so good! Paul hated them, so it worked out well for me. If you’ve been following me for a while, you will know that the Birthday Cake Oreo’s are my favourite! It’s the sprinkles.
Thinking up ways to make amazing cakes is my favourite part of being a baker. I’ve been wanting to make a Cookies ‘n Cream/Oreo cake for a while now and I was set on making it overflowing with cookies! My favourite part of an Oreo is the filling, so I knew that I wanted to make a creamy filling for the cake, but I wanted it to be light and fluffy as opposed to heavy like the cookie version.
The cake has three layers to it, two chocolate, and one vanilla, and each has chopped up Oreo’s floating around the batter. When the cookies bake, they soften up, so if you are worried about the cakes being crunchy, you can relax. No broken teeth will be had.
If you make this and take it to a party, you will be asked to bring it again, and again. So be warned.
