Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Boiling water
• 12 pieces Oreo cookies (whole)
• 6 pieces Oreo cookies (crushed, for batter)
• 1 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 4 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 6 pieces Oreo cookies (crushed, for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place one whole Oreo cookie at the bottom of each cupcake liner.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

Step 5

Slowly add the boiling water to the batter, mixing as you pour. The batter will be thin—this is normal.

Step 6

Gently fold in the 6 crushed Oreos into the batter.

Step 7

Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter, being careful not to overfill.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To make the frosting, beat the softened butter in a large bowl until creamy and smooth.

Step 11

Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 12

Mix in the heavy cream and beat until the frosting is fluffy and easy to spread.

Step 13

Fold in the 6 crushed Oreos into the frosting until fully incorporated.

Step 14

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, pipe or spread the frosting onto the cupcakes.

Step 15

Optionally, garnish each cupcake with a mini Oreo or additional crushed Oreos.
