Oreo cupcakes

Thursday, February 25, 2016

Although I love cupcakes, I didn’t bake them lately. And this although baking them don’t require much time. But there is always something else that I want to bake and then I say to myself...but you've already made cupcakes and you know how they taste, but this dessert or that cake you don’t know…so bake this instead. I am no longer trying to change this…I don’t plan to bake cupcakes anymore…if it happens, it happens. Some weeks ago I had the choice again: cupcakes or cake. But then I decided for the cupcakes and so the Oreo cupcakes were baked.

You need:

For the frosting:

200 g double cream

100 ml whipping cream

3 tbsp icing sugar

For the batter:

3 eggs, separated in egg white and yolk

1 pinch of salt

130 g sugar

2 tsp vanilla sugar

150 g butter, at room temperature

120 g flour

2 tbsp cacao powder

1 tsp baking powder

6 tbsp whipping cream

This is how we proceed:

I always start with the frosting, in order to be able to cool down. Separate 12 Oreo cookies by rotating them and scrap with a spoon the filling. Give into a bowl. Whip the cream, add cream cheese, the Oreo filling and icing sugar and blend everything well together. Fill cream into a piping bag with a star tip and place in the refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 180 ° C. Break the cookies into small pieces and set aside 3 tablespoons (for the frosting).

For the dough whisk egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Gradually add sugar and vanilla sugar. Whisk. In a second bowl mix yolks and butter until fluffy. Mix together flour, cocoa and baking powder. Add the flour mixture alternating with the cream to the butter-egg mixture. Add beaten egg whites and stir briefly. Fold in crumbled cookies.
