Oreo Cupcakes

If you like Oreo's and Cupcakes then this cupcake is perfect for you. This past weekend i made Oreo Cupcakes. And personally I think it was one of the best cupcakes i had ever made/tasted. Many people tended to agree with me. I did learn something when making them, it was to read the directions and all the information carefully. I thought the recipe said it makes 12 cupcakes but i didn't realize it said it atleast makes 12 cupcakes so i doubled the recipe thinking that it would make and 24. I ended up with almost 48 cupcakes. It was crazy, but they were so yummy! I followed the recipe but added a teaspoon of coffee to make it a little chocolatier. (: Heres the recipe:


Oh! Before you start preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Oven temperatures may vary.
Cupcakes:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup natural unsweetened cocoa
1 1/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup hot water
24 Oreos, plus more for crumbs


The frosting was just store bought cream cheese flavored icing, it paired really well with the chocolate cake and oreos.


For the preperation, I combined all the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisked until fluffy. I then slowly added all the wet ingredients and stirred until no lumps were left and it was all thoroughly combined. I then lined my cupcake pan, and broke one oreo into four pieces into each cup and poured the batter on top until the oreo was completely covered. I then baked them for 16-18 minutes until a toothpick came out clean. I let them cool for 5 minutes then frosted them with the icing and a few crushed up oreos. I hope you enjoy making them and eating them as much as i did. (:
