Once again Tanya Burr has inspired another blog post. She recently uploaded a oreo cupcake recipe that was too good to ignore. The cupcake itself is just a basic chocolate cupcake recipe with a little hidden oreo surprise, and the frosting is a basic buttercream with crushed oreos mixed in.
I changed the buttercream method a little bit to the way I usually make buttercream. I use an electric mixer and gradually add in the icing sugar as I find this allows the icing sugar to dissolve more and the buttercream is creamier and smoother. I also add a splash of milk to make it even more creamy and silky.
These cupcakes were so easy and quick and really were tasty! They would be perfect for a party or just a little treat!
It's your turn now!

175g butter
165g caster sugar

40g cocoa powder
125g self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
12 oreos
Oreo Buttercream
100g butter
1 tbs milk
200g icing sugar
2 packs oreos

Mix together your butter and sugar until
the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Add in eggs one at a time and mix until
combined.
Fold in all of your dry ingredients.
Place an oreo on the bottom of each cupcake
case.
Spoon your mixture into your cupcake cases
on top of the hidden oreo.
Bake the cupcakes for 15-20 minutes or
until cooked through.
Set aside to cool completely.
For the frosting beat the butter and
gradually add the icing sugar until smooth.
Add the milk and continue mixing until creamy and smooth.
Crush the oreos by hand or in a blender and
add to the buttercream.
Once your cupcakes have cooled pipe or spoon
on your frosting and top with half an oreo.
