* Due to technical difficulties Tasty Tuesday is a day late
I made these last weekend and they were delish. I made some changes to them (of course), like I used chocolate cake mix and I omitted the filling. They were fantastic. I have been trying to make a decent buttercream frosting for a long time and I have finally found a recipe that yields the best buttercream I have tasted. This cupcake makes me happy. I hope it makes you happy too.
Cookies N Cream Cupcakes
INGREDIENTS
Cupcakes:
1 box Duncan Hines White Cake Mix
1 stick of butter, melted
1 cup water
3 eggs
24 whole Oreos
Preheat oven to 350 and line muffin tins with liners. Place an Oreo in the bottom of each liner.
In the bowl of a mixer, combine cake mix, eggs, melted butter, and water. Mix on low speed for one minute. Increase speed to high and beat for a minute more. Fill liners 2/3 full and bake for about 20 minutes or until tops of cupcakes spring back when lightly touched.
While cupcakes are baking, make your filling.
Filling:
13 oz jar Marshmallow Creme
1 stick salted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
4 Tablespoons heavy cream
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
In a large bowl, beat Marshmallow Creme, butter, heavy cream and vanilla on medium low until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar and increase speed to medium high and beat for about a minute. Refrigerate filling until cupcakes are done baking and cooled.
Frosting:
4 sticks salted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
8 cups powdered sugar
15 Oreos, crushed VERY FINELY
In the bowl of a mixer, beat butter, cream, and vanilla on medium-low until smooth and well-combined. Slowly add powdered sugar. Once powdered sugar is barely mixed in, increase speed to medium-high and beat for 2 minutes. Fold in crushed Oreos.
Generously frost or pipe frosting on cupcakes and top with a mini Oreo if desired.
Store uneaten cupcakes in the refrigerator.
