Vanilla Oreo Cupcakes: The Defining Dessert
Who could think of a yummier cupcake recipe than mixing sweet Oreos with vanilla cake mix? Every family birthday party, I am required to bring this vanilla and chocolate cupcake treat- no joke. My family members have always been Oreo cookie fanatics, so what better way to celebrate your birthday than to have your favorite cookie put into your cake mix. This vanilla Oreo cupcake recipe is exactly that!
Vanilla Oreo Cupcake Recipe That Always Delivers
One of the things that sets this Oreo cupcake apart from any other cupcake recipe is the frosting. Personally, I LOVE frosting. I love to decorate these with an inch or two of this delicious stuff and give them a nice swirl on top. My husband isn’t as big on frosting, and loves the Oreo cake mix part of the cupcake. In fact, he literally wipes off all the frosting except for a tiny layer just so he can enjoy as many of the Oreo bottom cupcakes as he can.
No matter which way you like to eat these, the term “death by Oreo” never sounded like such an appealing fate. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make Oreo cupcakes, this is the time!
Next time you want to please your guests or impress your husband, make sure you come prepared with this delicious Vanilla Oreo cupcake recipe.
