Instructions
Cupcakes
Preheat the oven to 350ยบ Line a muffin pan with muffin liners.
In a mixing bowl combine the butter and sugar, beat using an electric mixer, 1-2 minutes until fluffy. Add in the eggs, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat lightly with the electric mixer. In a separate mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients a few spoonfuls at a time. Add in the crushed Oreos. Fold together until just incorporated. Fill the muffin liners 1/2-3/4 full.
Bake for 15 minutes or until a few moist crumbs remain on a toothpick when inserted into the center. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before adding the frosting.
Frosting
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, salt and vanilla extract, beat using an electric mixer until fluffy. Begin to add the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, mixing until combined.
Slowly add the heavy cream mixing as you go. The frosting should get light and fluffy. Add in the finely blended Oreos mixing with a rubber scraper.
Assembly
Place the buttercream in a piping bag fit with your desired tip. Be sure to push the buttercream down into the bag, and twist the top a few times to secure the bag. Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. Top each cupcake with an Oreo if desired. Or sprinkle tops with additional Oreo crumbs.
