Oreo Cupcake Recipe

​This year #CupcakeDay is on the 16th June in support of Alzheimer’s Society. If you’re looking for easy ideas on how you can involved on Cupcake Day, check out my Oreo Cupcake Recipe.

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180c/350f.
2. Pour 110g of Butter and the Caster Sugar into a large mixing bowl. Thoroughly cream together using an electric hand whisk or food mixer.
3. Sieve the Self Raising Flour and 25g of Cocoa Powder into the bowl. Break in the Eggs then mix everything together until smooth.
4. Place 12 cupcake cases into a cake tin. Place an Oreo in the bottom of each then divide the cake mixture among the cupcake cases.
5. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until risen and cooked in the middle.
6. Meanwhile, make the butter icing by placing 85g of Butter in a mixing bowl and quickly mix until light and pale.
7. Add the Icing Sugar and sieve in 45g of Cocoa Powder. Mix together, starting slowly. When the mixture turns thick, gradually add the Milk whilst continuing to mix. When combined, the butter icing is ready.
8. Once the cupcakes have cooled, decorate each cupcake with the butter icing then top each one off with half an Oreo.
9. Leave to cool in the fridge for a couple of hours then they’re ready to enjoy.
