- Why did they dome up so much?
- The cookie at the bottom raises the batter level. Fill with less batter, only 2/3 full.
Hidden Oreo Cupcakes with Whipped Cream
A shock to the eyes and taste buds. Here, we aren't satisfied with just cookie crumbs: we hide a whole cookie at the bottom of the cake. It softens during baking but keeps its shape, providing a stable, crunchy base for the soft muffin body. The whipped cream on top echoes the cookie's cream filling. A complete dessert experience in a single liner.
