Ingredients for Oreo Cupcakes

For the Cupcakes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 12 Oreo cookies (for the base)
  • 12 mini Oreo cookies (for garnish)

For the Oreo Buttercream Frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4–6 crushed Oreo cookies
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk (adjust to desired consistency)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

First, ensure you preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and then grease a cupcake pan then line it with cupcake papers. This again should be done in sets of two liners; the entire Oreo cookie should then be placed at the base of the liner.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, sift flour and cocoa and then add sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and assigned salt. This makes certain that the dry materials are cut well out and blended well in the batter.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In another large bowl combine eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Finally, add hot water gradually as you emulate stirring until a smooth mixture is obtained.

Step 4: Mix Wet And Dry Ingredients

Gradually fold the dry ingredients with the wet mixture and stir until well combined. The batter we should have for cooking should be a little liquid and thin.

Step 5: Fill the Cupcake Liners

Spoon the batter as equally as possible into cupcake liners, filling each of them two-thirds of the way. The Oreo base will float in the batter, allowing a nice surprise when one gets to the cupcake.

Step 6: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the toothpick is inserted into the middle of the cake and comes out free. In the case of preparing mini Oreo cupcakes, the baking time should be just about 12-15 minutes.

Step 7: Prepare the Frosting

While the cupcakes are cooling, you should make your Oreo buttercream frosting. With a hand mixer, it is used to beat the butter until creamy preferred at room temperature. Slowly incorporate the sifted powdered sugar in one cup into the mix. When the mixture is ready Stir in vanilla extract, crushed Oreo cookies, and heavy cream. Beat until smooth and fluffy.

Step 8: Frost the Cupcakes

Finally, when the cupcakes have cooled one can use a piping bag and pipe the Oreo buttercream frosting on top of cupcakes or one can use knives and spread it. To make it even more attractive you can put mini Oreo cookies as a frosting on the cupcakes.
