Ingredients




Ingredients for the cakes
-240ml of almond milk
-1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
-210g of self-raising flour (I use gluten-free)
-245g of golden caster sugar
-2 tablespoons of cacao powder
-1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
-Pinch of salt
-60g of coconut oil (melted)
-2 teaspoons of vanilla flavouring
-1 pack of Oreo cookies
Ingredients for the frosting
Vegan buttercream (Get my recipe on www.thelittleblogofvegan.com) + 1/2 pack of finely blended Oreo cookies
Decorations
-1/2 pack of Oreo cookies (cut in half)

Preparation

1 Step 1- Preheat your oven to 160 degrees c and line a cupcake tin with cupcake cases. 2 Step 2- In a small bowl, combine the almond milk with the apple cider vinegar and whisk until fully combined. 3 Set aside for 10 minutes to curdle. This creates a vegan 'buttermilk'. 4 Step 3- In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, sugar, cacao powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. 5 Mix well to combine. 6 Step 4- Add the coconut oil and vanilla to the 'buttermilk' and whisk to combine. 7 Step 5- Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix. 8 Step 6- Pop an Oreo cookie into each case then fill the cases 3/4 full with delicious batter. 9 Make sure to tap the tins on the worktop to remove any air bubbles. 10 Step 7- Pop the cakes into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. 11 You will know they are done when you put a knife or skewer in and it comes out clean and they are springy to the touch. 12 Step 8- Place the cupcakes on a cooling rack and allow to cool fully. 13 Once cool, pop them into a sealed container to keep them fresh before frosting. 14 Prepare your buttercream 15 I added some finely blended Oreo cookies into the frosting, which creates a light grey, perfect Oreo colour (and flavour) 16 Step 9- Pipe a swirl of buttercream onto each cupcake and top off with 1/2 Oreo cookie. You could even sprinkle over some ground Oreos too. 17 Serve fresh or store in a sealed container in or out of the fridge, the buttercream will firm up at room temperature.
