Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 12 Oreo cookies
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 12 mini Oreos for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and well-blended.
- Place one whole Oreo cookie at the bottom of each cupcake liner, creating a base for the cupcake.
- Carefully pour the chocolate cake batter over each Oreo cookie, filling each liner about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack for approximately 30 minutes.
- While cupcakes are cooling, prepare the whipped cream topping by whipping heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Once cupcakes are completely cool, pipe or spread whipped cream on top of each cupcake.
- Garnish each cupcake with a mini Oreo cookie placed on top of the whipped cream.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving to allow whipped cream to set.
Tips
- Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better texture.
- Don't overmix the cake batter – mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cupcakes light and fluffy.
- Use a piping bag or a zip-lock bag with the corner cut off for a professional-looking whipped cream topping.
- For extra stability, you can add a teaspoon of powdered sugar to your whipped cream while whipping.
- If you want to make these ahead of time, you can bake the cupcakes a day in advance and add the whipped cream topping just before serving.
- Store any leftover cupcakes in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for the best taste and texture.
