Areo Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. Mix packaged cake mix according to directions. (Do not bake.)
• 2. Line cupcake tins with liner. Place a regular size Oreo cookie in the bottom of each one.
• 3. Take 12 Oreos and chop coarsely. Add to the cake mix.
• 4. Fill the cupcake tins. They will seem overfilled because of the Oreos. They are typically filled all the way to the top of the liner; it bakes a very full cupcakes.
• 5. Bake for 20 min (or according to box directions).
• 6. Allow cupcakes to cool and prepare the frosting.
• 7. Cream together butter and cream cheese.
• 8. Add vanilla.
• 9. Add powdered sugar, slowly, blending as you go.
• 10. Mix until creamy.
• 11. Chop remaining regular-sized Oreos very fine (using the food processor is best).
• 12. Mix finely chopped cookies into the frosting.
• 13. After cupcakes are cool, put frosting on. Either spread or pipe it on.
• 14. Add a mini Oreo on top for decoration.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 24 muffin cups with baking cups.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
• In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and the butter until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract, then beat in the egg whites one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
• Working in 4 or 5 additions, alternately add the flour mixture and the milk to the sugar mixture. Keep the mixer on low speed while you do this. When just combined, stir in the crushed Oreos.
• Spoon batter evenly into muffin tins, filling each about 2/3 full.
• Bake for 15-18 minutes at 350°F, until a toothpick comes out clean (a few chocolate cookie crumbs are fine, but not batter).
• Cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
• Store in an airtight container if not serving the same day.
• Note: If you only have a 12-cup muffin tin, the batter will not suffer from sitting around for a few minutes while the first batch bakes. Just be sure to let the pan cool completely before filling it up again.
• Variation: To make plain vanilla cupcakes, simply omit the Oreos. You might end up with only about 18 cupcakes, but as long as you fill the tins about 2/3 full, the baking time will be the same.
• Quick Vanilla Buttercream Frosting:.
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and beat, with an electric mixer, until frosting is creamy, 3-5 minutes.
• Frost cupcakes with frosting using a butter knife or offset spatula. Add as much or as little frosting as desired. If making Oreo cupcakes, garnish with additional chunks of Oreo.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170C/160 fan. Line a muffin tray with paper muffin cases. twist 12 Oreos to separate them, and place half in each case, with the cream facing upwards.Put the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and butter in a large bowl and mix until you get a sandy consistency and everything is combined.
• Whisk the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a separate jug, then slowly add half into the flour mixture, and beat well to get rid of any lumps. Gradually add the rest of the milk mixture whilst mixing until smooth.
• Add the mixture to the paper cases, making sure they are equally full (about two-thirds). Bake the cakes in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
• Whilst the cakes are cooking, smash up 6 Oreos in a bag and set aside. Whisk the butter, cream cheese and icing sugar until light and fluffy. Then, gently fold in the Oreo Crumbs.
• When the cakes have cooled, pipe the icing onto the cakes and use any left over Oreos to decorate.
