Instructions

  3. In a medium bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk whole milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and half a large egg until combined.
  5. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
  6. Carefully stir in boiling water to the batter; it will be thin, but this is correct.
  7. For batter evenly into cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove cupcakes from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. For the frosting, beat softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth and creamy.
  11. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract for frosting, beating until fluffy.
  12. Fold in crushed Oreo cookies gently into the frosting.
  13. Once cupcakes are fully cooled, pipe or spread the Oreo buttercream frosting on top.
  14. Serve and enjoy your decadent chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese Oreo buttercream frosting.

Tips

  • Use room temperature ingredients for best mixing results.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep cupcakes tender.
