Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the hot water and mix until the batter is thin and fully combined.

Step 5

Gently fold in 10 crushed Oreo cookies into the batter.

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

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

Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

Step 9

To make the buttercream, cream the unsalted butter in a large bowl using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
