Loved by all ages.
These cupcakes are so simple and so delicious. Just about everybody I know loves Oreos which means just about everybody would love these cupcakes. All you have to do is mix in chopped Oreos into your favorite chocolate cake recipe. I like to use one Oreo per cupcake. Most cake recipes make 24 cupcakes, so you just need to roughly chop 24 Oreos and gently stir them into your cake batter. This time around I used my favorite quick Chocolate Cake recipe which uses a mix and they turned out just as delicious as when I make this recipe from scratch. That being said, it is completely up to you which cake recipe to use. I have also made these cupcakes using my Sugar Cookie Cupcake recipe and really loved them, but the chocolate took first place.
Now the frosting is truly delicious. I may have eaten quite a bit straight from the bowl. I want to spread this frosting on everything. Seriously, I am looking for any excuse to make this frosting. I topped each cupcake with half an Oreo which is completely optional.
Quick and Easy Chocolate Oreo Cupcakes
recipe from Baked Perfection
1 package chocolate cake mix
1 package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1/2 cup warm water
2 cups chopped Oreo Cookies (approximately 24 cookies)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
In a large bowl, mix together the cake and pudding mix, sour cream, oil, vanilla extract, eggs, and water. Gently stir in the Oreos and divide batter into 24 lined muffin cups.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.

Store any remaining frosting in the fridge.

I. Need. These. Now. You rock my culinary world.
that frosting sounds like perfection :)
Oreos will make anything extra delicious!
Those look so good.
Two words: That. Frosting.
Ok seriously? These might be the death of me!
Loved this recipe! I made them in my Babycakes Deluxe Cupcake maker. It makes a dozen full sized cupcakes in 8 minutes. I have tried 7 of your recipes in the last week. Can't wait to try some more!
These look so good. A couple of questions - 1) How finely chopped should the Oreos be for the cupcakes? 2) How finely chopped for the frosting? I've got the cupcakes in the oven now and they smell wonderful!
Do these need to be refrigerated once frosted??
Avery, since there is cream cheese in the frosting I like to put them in the fridge and bring them out about 30 minuted before serving.

I did this as a double layer cake for a friend's birthday and it turned out really well, although it was a tiny bit short on frosting for this.
Risa,
Thanks for the recipe. It's both special and simple!
