Recipe: Oreo Cupcakes

If you follow me on Instagram you may have already seen these bad boys. In case you hadn't noticed I haven't been as frequent posting lately (the joy of full time work eh) and have also been forgoing the make-up for sleep. Therefore I've decided every so often I'll be throwing in a random blog post here and there and I'm starting with these cupcakes.

Knowing how to make cupcakes is the only thing I've remembered from Food Education at school. I've adapted the recipe and this is the result.

Ingredients:
100g Self Raising Flour
100g Caster Sugar
100g Butter
30g Cocoa Powder
1 egg
Oreos

Icing
Icing Sugar
140g Butter
Cocoa Powder

Oven temp: 200oc

Add the flour, butter, sugar, cocoa powder and egg into a mixing bowl and mix it all together with a whisk (electric is much quicker).

Once you're done it should look a little something like this.

 

(sorry the picture won't rotate!) Place your paper cupcake holders into a baking tray and place an Oreo on the bottom of each.

Then spoon your mixture on top of each Oreo.

It's then time to put them in the oven for about ten minutes.

Whilst they're in the oven it's time to make the icing.

Break six Oreo's in half for the decoration.

Then take the butter and use the whisk to make it all creamy. 

Then bit by bit add icing sugar and cocoa powder until it's the correct consistency.

It should look something like this when it's done.

Then spoon the icing onto the cupcakes, add the Oreo decoration and you're done.

Now go and enjoy it.

Will you be making these?
