Yummiest Vanilla Oreo Cupcakes With Marshmallow Frosting

Hello Cupcake Lovers,

I LOVE CUPCAKES. These are the best vanilla oreo cupcakes ever. This was my first time making marshmallow frosting. But my family said the cupcake was better off without the frosting. When making the vanilla cupcake batter, you can use the recipe included, the batter from the box, or use your favorite vanilla cupcake recipe. If you want, you can use a chocolate cupcake recipe instead of vanilla. Here is the recipe and baking instructions. Everything from ninerbakes.

Vanilla Oreo Cupcakes Recipe:
Servings: 12-15
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time:12-15 Minutes

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 1/4 teaspoons of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

3/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vinegar

1 Oreo cookie per cupcake

oreo cookie crumbs for decorating after frosting the cupcakes

How To Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees / 180 G Celsius and prepare your cupcake pan with cupcake liners of your choice and place an oreo cookie in each cupcake liner. (You do not have to use Oreos, you can leave that step if you want!)

2. Pour together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.

3. Add 1/2 teaspoon vinegar to the milk and set aside for about 3-5 minutes.

4. In another bowl, add the 2 eggs and mix with handmixer. Now pour in the sugar and continue to mix for a minute.

5. Now add vanilla extract and vegetable oil and mix.

6. On low speed, add half of flour mixture, beat, then add half of milk mixture. Repeat until everything is combined and well mixed. Scrape down sides of the bowl too.

7. Now pour the rather thin batter into your cupcake pan and fill up the cupcake liners 2/3 full.

8. Bake in your preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, use a toothpick, stick in the center of the cupcake, if it comes out clean, the cupcakes are done.

9. Let cupcakes cool for a couple of minutes before you remove them from the pan. Let cool completely on a plate or wire rack.

10. When completely cooled, you can start frosting them. The marshmallow frosting recipe follows below.

 Marshmallow Frosting Recipe:
 Recipe from Martha Stewart
 Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups sugar

6 large egg whites (room temperature)

1/2 cup water

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

pastry bags

round pastry tip

How To Instructions:

1. To make the frosting, combine sugar, the egg whites, water and cream of tartar in a big bowl / bowl of an electric mixer.

2. Whisk until everything is extremely well incorporated and a little foamy. Now set your bowl over a pot or kettle of simmering water and whisk (5 minutes). The sugar needs to be dissolved, that is very important.
To test if the sugar is dissolved, rub a little bit of the mix between two fingers, you will notice undissolved sugar crystals. Stir a little longer until sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Now transfer your bowl to a stand mixer (whisk attachment). You CAN mix it with a hand mixer, but it will take ages! So I would not recommend it at all.

4. Now let’s beat: On high speed until your marshmallow frosting forms stiff peaks – it will take about 11-15 minutes.

5. Add vanilla extract and beat again until combined.

6. Now taste it: Isn’t it delicious? But: back to business: Transfer the frosting to a large pastry bag which is fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip or either size you like.
