Materials

Cupcakes:

  • 13.25 oz. box Devil's Food cake mix (like Betty Crocker)
  • 3.9 oz. box chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup milk, room temperature
  • 15 Oreo cookies, crushed (approx. 1 1/2 cups)

Frosting:

  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 4.2 oz. box Oreo Cookies 'n Creme instant pudding mix
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (2 sticks)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Cupcakes:

  • Preheat oven to 350° and line 3 muffin pans with 30 liners. (See Notes.)
  • In large bowl, mix dry cake mix and dry pudding mix together. Add eggs, sour cream, oil, and milk. Stir just until combined, do not over mix.
  • Fold in cookie crumbs. Fill liners 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 20 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly touched, or when a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove from muffin pans to a wire rack to cool completely. While cooling, make frosting.

Frosting:

  • In small bowl, whisk milk and dry pudding mix together. Set aside to thicken up.
  • In large bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and pudding mixture. Slowly add powdered sugar until combined. Beat a few minutes allowing air to get trapped in the frosting, making it light and fluffy.
  • Spread or pipe onto cooled cupcakes. Store in refrigerator, but remove 30 minutes before serving allowing the frosting time to warm up. Enjoy!

Notes

Make 30 cupcakes, or make 24 cupcakes in 2 muffin pans plus a single layer cake in an 8" cake pan.
