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.

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place a whole Oreo cookie at the bottom of each muffin liner.

Tip: This will be the "surprise" base.
2

Mix the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt).

Tip: Sift the cocoa powder to avoid lumps.
3

Whisk together the eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla, then combine with the dry ingredients.

Tip: Do not overmix.
4

Crumble 6 cookies into the batter.

Tip: Adds extra texture.
5

Spoon the batter over the cookies in the mold.

Tip: The cookie takes up space, so be careful with the amount.
6

Bake for 20-25 minutes, then cool.

Tip: After cooling, decorate with whipped cream (whipped with the confectioners' sugar).

Recipe FAQ

Why did they dome up so much?
The cookie at the bottom raises the batter level. Fill with less batter, only 2/3 full.
