Chocolate Cupcakes with Oreo Buttercream
Description
Chocolate Cupcakes with Oreo Buttercream start with a batter composed of granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and boiling water, producing a moist and evenly textured cupcake. The boiling water thins the batter, ensuring tenderness without heaviness.
After baking at 350°F until a toothpick comes out clean and cooling completely, the cupcakes are topped with buttercream made from room temperature salted butter, vanilla, milk or cream, powdered sugar, and crushed Oreo cookies for a crunchy twist. The frosting is fluffy and sweet, balancing the deep chocolate notes in the cupcake.
This recipe yields about 30 cupcakes, suitable for parties or gatherings. The Oreo buttercream lends a distinct cookies-and-cream flavor, transforming a simple chocolate cupcake into a more textured and textured treat suitable for both kids and adults.
