I’ve made these Vanilla Oreo Cupcakes sooo many times but I’ve never shared the recipe as I thought there would be lots of other similar recipes online. After having a look I noticed that the majority of Oreo cupcake recipes use a chocolate sponge. I’ve always made them with vanilla, I’m not sure why but this is the way I like them! It also makes this recipe super adaptable to the other Oreo flavours like mint, strawberry cheesecake, or peanut butter, as vanilla goes with pretty much everything! Hidden at the bottom of the cupcake is an Oreo biscuit that’s baked into them, then they’re topped with Oreo buttercream and another Oreo biscuit on top. They’re basically Oreo heaven!

Step by step…

 

To make the sponge I started by creaming together the butter and sugar, then I whisked in the eggs and vanilla extract.

Then I added the self raising flour and whisked until smooth.

I placed an oreo into each cupcake case, then added the batter on top.

They baked for 25 minutes until golden.

I mixed up a buttercream using butter, icing sugar and vanilla extract. Then I stirred in oreo crumbs.

I piped it onto the cupcakes, then added an Oreo biscuit on top.
