Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with 12 paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
  4. Stir in the hot water or coffee until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
  6. Fill each cupcake liner about three-quarters full with the batter.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Whip the softened butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  9. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until smooth.
  10. Stir in vanilla extract and cream until the frosting is spreadable.
