Oreo Cupcakes
Wednesday 5 December 2012
If you love chocolate and Oreos, you will love these cupcakes! I brought these into work and it went down a treat! Plus, there's a delightful surprise inside these cakes.
This recipe has been adapted from Bakerella. It is enough to make 12 cupcakes.
Ingredients:
For the cupcakes:
- 187g plain flour, sifted
- 59g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 250g caster sugar
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 118ml oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 180ml milk
- 12 oreos
For the oreo buttercream:
- 115g butter, softened
- 240g icing sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3-6 tbsp milk
- 2-3 oreos, crushed into crumbs
- 12 oreos, to decorate
Method:
- Preheat oven to Gas Mark 4. Line a 12 x 12 muffin tin with paper cases. Place one oreo cookie in each cup.
- Mix the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt with a whisk. Add in the eggs, oil, vanilla and milk one at a time until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer the batter into the cases until 2/3 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
- To make the buttercream, beat butter until smooth. Sift in the icing sugar in 3 additions, then the vanilla extract. Add a tbsp of milk at a time until the right consistency is reached. Crush 2 or 3 oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix into the buttercream.
- Pipe the frosting on the cupcakes and top with another oreo. Enjoy!
Who remembers the TV advert which goes "You twist it, you lick it and you dunk it!" I remember this TV advert for Oreos many years ago. For me, it is one of my childhood biscuits and I always associate it with milk and bedtime. I've been planning to make these for a long time and I'm so glad when I finally did. Although, if you don't have much of a sweet tooth, just use less amount of sugar and it will be fine!
