• Step 1

  Heat the oven to 180 degrees and line a cupcake tray with paper cases. Add an Oreo to the bottom of each case.

• Step 2

  Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and gently beat after each addition.

• Step 3

  Add the cocoa powder, flour and baking powder to the bowl and mix. (Use a splash of milk if you feel the mixture needs a little loosening).

• Step 4

  Spoon evenly between the cupcake cases, filling each approximately two thirds to the top.

• Step 5

  Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until a skewer inserted comes out clean.

• Step 6

  To make the buttercream, beat the butter in a stand mixer until pale and fluffy. Sift the icing sugar into the same bowl and add the milk.

• Step 7

  At this stage I tend to start mixing gently by hand with a wooden spoon to avoid getting covered in clouds of sugar. Return to the mixer and continue to beat until the buttercream is smooth and fluffly.

• Step 8

  Add 2 packs of crushed Oreos. To crush, either blitz in a blender or give them a bashing with a rolling pin in a sandwich bag.

• Step 9

  To ice, smooth buttercream over the tops with a palette knife, or using a piping bag with a circular nozzle. Top with any remaining Oreos.
