Cupcakes
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed Oreos
Frosting
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- 4 oz. cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup Oreo crumbs
Cupcakes
First, preheat the oven to 350F and line 12 cupcake tins with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
Add the vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix just until combined-- you don’t want to overmix!
Add the crushed oreos and fold them in gently.
Fill each cupcake tin ¾ of the way full (I use a ¼ cup cookie scoop to make sure they’re all the same size). Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean-- about 18-20 minutes.
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack before icing them (below).
Frosting
Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract together on medium speed until smooth and creamy-- about 2 minutes.
On low speed, add the powdered sugar a little at a time until completely incorporated.
Once all of the powdered sugar has been added, turn the mixer to high speed and beat until the icing is light and fluffy-- about 2 minutes.
Add the oreo crumbs and mix until combined.
Transfer the icing to a piping bag fitted with your choice of tip. Ice the cupcakes as desired.
Store any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
