Y’all it had just been that kind of week, you know… the kind where all thoughts lead to chocolate? I can guarantee I am not the only one who has those kind of weeks right? To make myself feel better I will just go ahead and imagine all of you reading this are nodding your heads in agreement.
Okay, now that we have made it clear that I was having a major obsession hankering for chocolate, it brings me to these cupcakes. Theeessee cupcakes, oh my, the chocolate cake is perfectly moist and fluffy with an Oreo as the bottom crust, then then! it is topped off with the fluffiest most perfect whipped frosting filled with crushed Oreo cookies.
No lie y’all, this frosting tastes like the most perfect cookies n’ cream ice cream you’ve ever had, well, you know except not cold, which I like to think is a bonus because it won’t melt except in your mouth.
I would like to point out that the chocolate cake mix in these cupcakes is devil’s food, but it doesn’t taste like it, which to me is a good thing because I think devil’s food is a bit too dark.
It just tastes like the most perfectly moist chocolate cake and then that frosting…droooll…which I am so glad that I doubled because for reals y’all, it is perfection. Make these soon, everyone will love you who you give these too, or keeping them all to yourself is also perfectly acceptable (trust me the thought had crossed my mind), but I gave in and shared and everyone looooved these.
So go ahead and line your cupcake tins with liners and Oreo cookies…
Ok, cake mix in the bowl…
Add the eggs…
Now the buttermilk…
The sour cream…
and the oil…
Mix, mix, mix…mmm so chocolatey…
Into the liners…
Baking…
Now for the frosting, let’s pretend I took a pic with 10 tablespoons of flour, and 2 cups of milk in it…
This is what it should look like when it is done…
While this is cooling, place your butter in the bowl…
Now the sugar…
Whip until light and fluffy…
Then put your milk/flour mixture in (it must be cool or it won’t whip properly)…
Whip, and whip and whip some more…
Cookies out ready to be crushed…I used my awesome OXO Chopper…
Nice and finely chopped…
Place in your frosting…
Delicious…
Then enjoy!!!
