always looking for new recipes:

different recipes from the usual

Libbie found one for these cupcakes:

and you know what?

they are rather nom!

well they are after some tweaks:

oreo cupcakes

you will need ....

a pack of oreos

120g softened unsalted butter

120g caster sugar

120g plain flour

60g cocoa powder

3 eggs

1½ teaspoons baking powder

60ml milk

preheat your oven to 180°c/ gas 4

line your muffin tin with paper cases

then twist each oreo to separate the top and bottom

put the creamy side of an oreo into each paper case

cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy

then mix in the eggs one at a time

in a separate bowl ~ mix all the dry ingredients

then add them, with the milk to the bowl

and mix carefully

pile this mixture onto your prepared cases

and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or so

they should be springily firm

leave to cool completely before icing

I iced these with a mixture of cream cheese and

sifted icing sugar: 

then blitzed up the remaining oreo halves

and sprinkled them on the top:

can you see the oreo half in the bottom of the cake?

it left an imprint on the empty case!

{if you're not too jazzed for the chocolate cakey part then 

you could omit the cocoa powder and add a few 

drops of vanilla extract}
