Oreo Cupcakes
Ingredients
Cupcakes: (or use my other chocolate cupcake recipe from here) 1 1/2 cup plain flour 1/2 cup cocoa powder 4 t baking powder 1 cup castor sugar 160g butter, melted 4 eggs 1 t vanilla extract 2 T milk 20 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
Icing: 220g cream cheese 6 T unsalted butter 1 T vanilla extract 4 cups icing sugar 2 T double cream Oreo crumbs Garnish: 24 Oreo halves, cream on
Directions
Cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 160C . Line 24 cupcake wells. Add all the ingredients to a small mixing bowl and beat on low speed until blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat on medium speed for two minutes. Half fill each cupcake well with the mixture and bake for about 15 minutes in a preheated oven. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before frosting.
Icing: Combine cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the vanilla and icing sugar and blend until smooth. Beat the double cream until incorporated and then up the speed to medium high. Beat for 4 minutes until whipped. Mix in the Oreo crumbs. Assembling: Pipe the icing onto each cupcake as desired, adding an oreo half to each one.
