Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (65 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil (neutral oil like canola)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk, room temperature (or milk plus 1 tablespoon vinegar)
  • About 20 Oreo cookies, chopped into chunks
  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 ½ cups (440 g) powdered sugar
  • 3–4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • About 10 additional crushed Oreos for frosting garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  3. In another bowl, beat sugar and vegetable oil until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly mix in buttermilk to the wet ingredients, alternating with the dry mixture in three additions, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in chopped Oreo cookies gently to keep chunks intact.
  6. Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners, filling each about ⅔ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  8. Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  9. For frosting, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with heavy cream, beating until smooth and fluffy.
  10. Fold in crushed Oreos into the frosting.
  11. Once cupcakes are fully cooled, pipe or spread frosting generously on top and garnish with additional Oreo crumbs.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep cupcakes light and fluffy. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Crush Oreos by hand into chunks for texture. Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature. Cool cupcakes completely before frosting to prevent melting.
