These are with out a doubt the best Oreo cakes I have ever ate!! In this recipe there are Oreo's in the cake, in the frosting, and at the bottom is a Oreo surprise. That's right, you put a whole Oreo at the bottom of the cake & everyone loves that surprise. The cookie stays firm, which makes it a little interesting to eat against the soft cake, but in reality it gives it a rather nice crunch. Overall this is an amazing cupcake. I make them for every family get together, and not only do the kids rave about them, but the adults love them as well!!!
Ingredients:
- 1 package Oreo Cookies (regular size)
- 1 package Mini Oreo Cookies, for decoration (optional)
- 1 package chocolate cake mix (mix according to directions on box)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temperature
- 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- cupcake liners
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix packaged cake mix according to directions (do not bake).
- Line cupcake tins with liner, place a regular size Oreo cookie in the bottom of each liner.
- Take 1/2 of remaining cookies and chop coarsely and add to cake mix. Fill the cupcake tins.
- Bake for 15 minutes (or according to box directions).
Instruction for frosting:
- Cream together butter and cream cheese.
- Add vanilla, then add powdered sugar slowly until blended well.
- Chop remaining regular-sized Oreos very fine (I put the cookies in the zip-loc and crushed them by hitting them, instead of trying to chop them up super fine and it worked out really well). Add to frosting.
The finished product:
