Method
Step 1
Begin by preparing a 12 hole cupcake tin with cupcake cases and preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F, Gas Mark 6)
Step 2
In a large bowl beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Ingredients for this step
- Butter (unsalted) (175g)
- Billington's Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar (165g)
Step 3
Add the eggs one by one, mixing in a tablespoon of the flour with each egg to avoid the mixture from curdling.
Ingredients for this step
- Eggs (large) (3)
- Self Raising Flour (115g)
Step 4
In a separate bowl mix together the cocoa powder and boiling water to make a smooth paste.
Ingredients for this step
- Boiling water (4 tbsp)
- Cocoa powder (40g)
Step 5
Add the flour and baking powder to the egg mixture followed by the cocoa paste and blend all the ingredients together until you reach a smooth batter.
Step 6
Spoon the mixture into each of the cupcake cases, filling each 2/3 full.
Step 7
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until springy to touch.
Step 8
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow to cool on a wire cooling rack.
Step 9
Whilst the cupcakes are cooling make your buttercream by beating together the butter, milk, vanilla extract and half of the icing sugar.
Ingredients for this step
- Butter (unsalted) (175g)
- Silver Spoon Icing Sugar (350g)
- Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract (1 tsp)
- Milk (2 tbsp)
Step 10
Once these ingredients are combined add the remaining icing sugar and Oreos, chopped finely and beat until light and fluffy. The longer that you beat the icing for the lighter it will be.
Ingredients for this step
- Oreos (100g)
Step 11
To finish your cupcakes, fill another piping bag with a star nozzle and your Oreo buttercream and pipe swirls on to the top of each cupcake.
Step 12
For an extra touch add an Oreo to the top of the buttercream.
