Oreo Frosted Chocolate Cupcakes

You’ve got to make these cupcakes. The moist chocolate cupcake has a mild chocolate flavor. It can be made into three 8-inch layers for a stacked cake, or in a 9×13-inch sheet cake, or 24 standard cupcakes.
The Oreo cream frosting tastes just like the cream centers in an Oreo cookie. Honestly, they taste like an ultra decadent version of the creamy centers. I used my basic Decorator’s Icing for the frosting and folded in crush Oreo cookies. It is irresistible and very difficult to not eat this frosting straight from the bowl.
One tip I recommend when making this frosting, don’t crush the Oreos fine. Leave them a little coarse. As well, don’t mix them completely into the frosting, I prefer to leave it streaking where there are bits of Oreo showing and steaks for white frosting showing.
