Description

Deliciously moist and decadent Oreo Cupcakes topped with a creamy whipped Oreo cream cheese frosting. Perfect for chocolate lovers, these cupcakes are infused with cocoa powder and enhanced with crunchy Oreo crumbs both in the batter and on top for a delightful texture contrast.

Ingredients

Cupcake Batter

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Oil (canola or vegetable)
  • 1 cup White granulated sugar
  • 2 Large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup Hot water

Whipped Oreo Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 oz Cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 2 TBSP Heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup Powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1 1/2 cup Heavy cream (cold)
  • 6 Oreos (crumbs)

Decoration

  • Oreo crumbs (from 2 Oreos for decoration)
  • 6 Oreos cut in half (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup cupcake tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, Dutch process cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, white granulated sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, and buttermilk. Heat the water on the stove until steaming and slowly add it to the wet mixture, whisking gently to combine.
  4. Combine: Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, whisking until fully combined into a smooth batter.
  5. Scoop and Bake: Using a large cookie scoop, fill each muffin liner about 3/4 full with batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  6. Cool Cupcakes: Allow the cupcakes to sit in the pan for 10 minutes post baking, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack. Let them cool completely before decorating.
  7. Prepare Oreo Crumbs: Place 6 whole Oreos in a food processor and blend until they become fine crumbs. Set aside.
  8. Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and 2 tablespoons heavy cream on high speed for 1 minute until creamy and smooth.
  9. Whip Heavy Cream: Using a mixer fitted with a metal bowl and whisk attachment, combine the cold 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, sifted powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat at high speed until the mixture begins to thicken.
  10. Combine Whipped Cream and Cream Cheese: Add the whipped cream cheese mixture to the thickening whipped cream and beat at high speed until stiff peaks form.
  11. Fold in Oreo Crumbs: Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in the Oreo crumbs using a rubber spatula, ensuring even distribution.
  12. Decorate Cupcakes: Using a large piping tip (Wilton tip 1A recommended), pipe the whipped Oreo cream cheese frosting onto the cooled cupcakes. Top each cupcake with additional Oreo crumbs and a half Oreo for decoration.

Notes

  • Ensure all cold ingredients like eggs, buttermilk, and cream cheese are at room temperature for the best texture.
  • Use Dutch process cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Do not overbake the cupcakes to keep them moist; check with a toothpick near the 17-minute mark.
  • Chill cupcakes before frosting if the frosting feels too soft to pipe.
  • You can substitute vegetable oil with canola oil or light olive oil for a different flavor profile.
  • Use sifted powdered sugar to avoid lumps in the frosting.
  • For easier piping and to prevent Oreo pieces from clogging, use a wide piping tip.
