Today's recipe is also one of my favorites. It takes a little bit of time to do but is definitely worth it.
Oreo cupcakes!
I made those to celebrate the birthday of one of my closest friends who, get ready for this, doesn't like chocolate.
Awful. I know.
She does not like chocolate but she likes Oreo cookies and she loves my Oreo cupcakes. Maybe you have seen this recipe in other blogs and their ingredients include two tablespoons of pure cocoa. I skip this step for my friend's benefit, and although the cupcakes are dark, it's because of the pulverized cookies in the batter.
The frosting is not the usual either. Truth is that I cringe a little bit when I see recipes that require 400g of confectioner's sugar only for the frosting or buttercream. I know, they are delicious but, with so many sugar? Is that good? So I have created a new frosting for these cupcakes and, although my friends kind of missed the old one, they did say that it tasted as if it was the cream inside the Oreo cookies.
