Ingredients

Scale

Cupcakes

  • 1 1/2 cups cake flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened black cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup hot coffee

Frosting

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups crushed Oreos
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Coating

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup crushed Oreos

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the cake flour, unsweetened black cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, add buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and hot coffee. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined, but avoid overmixing to keep cupcakes tender.
  4. Bake Cupcakes: Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
  5. Prepare Frosting: Beat the unsalted butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Once smooth, fold in the crushed Oreos and heavy cream to create a thick, creamy cookies and cream frosting.
  6. Frost Cupcakes: Pipe or spread the Oreo frosting generously over each cooled cupcake.
  7. Prepare Coating: Melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts until smooth. Dip the frosted cupcakes into the melted chocolate, then immediately roll or sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos over the chocolate coating for added texture and flavor.
  8. Set and Serve: Place the coated cupcakes in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate shell to set firmly before serving. Enjoy your decadent Oreo cupcakes!

Notes

  • If you prefer, you can substitute the hot coffee with hot water for a milder chocolate flavor.
  • Ensure cupcakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best rich chocolate taste.
  • Store any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days due to the cream in the frosting.
  • For a more intense chocolate shell, chill cupcakes briefly before dipping in chocolate.
