Ingredients

• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 40 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 120 milliliters whole milk
• 80 milliliters vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 120 milliliters boiling water
• 12 whole Oreo cookies
• 120 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams powdered sugar
• 60 grams cream cheese
• 4 cookies crushed Oreos

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well combined and slightly pale.

Step 4

Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Slowly incorporate the boiling water into the batter, whisking until smooth. The batter will be thin; this is normal.

Step 7

Place an Oreo cookie at the bottom of each cupcake liner.

Step 8

Evenly divide the batter among the liners, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

To make the frosting, beat the butter in a medium bowl using an electric mixer until creamy and fluffy.

Step 12

Add the cream cheese and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 13

Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until smooth.

Step 14

Fold in the crushed Oreos for added texture and flavor.

Step 15

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, pipe or spread the frosting on top of each cupcake.

Step 16

Garnish with additional Oreo crumbs or a mini Oreo on top for decoration, if desired.
