Milk (room temperature)

Freshly brewed coffee (cooled)

Baking powder

Baking soda

For the frosting:

Instructions

To make the cupcakes:

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (347°F) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, coffee, oil, and vanilla extract. Add the granulated and brown sugars, mixing until smooth.

  3. Sift together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding until just combined. Gently fold in the crushed Oreos.

  5. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  6. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.

To make the frosting:

  1. Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or ziplock bag.

  2. Cream the butter in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.

  3. Gradually add powdered sugar, continuing to whip until smooth and fluffy.

  4. Add the crushed Oreos, vanilla extract, salt, and heavy cream. Whip until smooth and creamy.

  5. Pipe or spread the Oreo frosting onto the cooled cupcakes, and garnish with extra crushed Oreos if desired.

Notes

Storage: Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Refrigerate for up to 5 days for freshness. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for a warm treat.

Variations: Add peanut butter or mint extract to the cupcake base for a fun twist. For a tangy frosting, try adding cream cheese.

Freezing: You can freeze the unfrosted cupcakes for up to 2 months. Thaw before frosting.
