These are not only a really pretty cupcake, they are delicious and a real crowd pleaser. I loved the Oreo on the bottom - it's a hidden treat! The frosting is perfect and tastes like cookies and cream ice cream. Kids - big and small - are going to love these!
Ingredients:
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 c oil
- 1 c sour cream
- 1/2 c milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 24 Oreo cookies
OREO CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
- 10 Oreo's, twist and scrape off (or eat) the cream filling
- 1/2 c butter, softened
- ·8 oz. cream cheese (room temp)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 c powdered sugar
Method:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pans with cupcake liners.
- Sift cake mix into a small bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, oil, sour cream, milk and vanilla extract until smooth
- Stir in cake mix into wet mix, mixing well.
- Take your Oreo's and place one at the bottom of each cupcake liner.
- Scoop batter over each Oreo to fill the liners about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Let cool.
- While those are cooking, take your Oreo cookies (just the chocolate pieces and not the filling) and crush in a plastic bag using a rolling pin.
- In a medium bowl beat butter and cream cheese together. Add vanilla extract and slowly add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time beating to make smooth.
- When you have that all mixed sift your crushed Oreos into the mixture. Any broken up chunks left in the sifter put aside.
