I do not know about you, but Oreo cookies rank high on my list of fattening sweet treats. There is something about the crisp chocolate cookie sandwiched together with a yummy vanilla cream that makes me drool a little! In fact, I find it hard to even have these in my house…I also love the Golden variety! Back in November I made a chocolate bundt cake that was to die for…it is now my go to recipe for chocolate cake…it is easy, moist and oh so chocolaty. I decided to pair this amazing cake with the Buttercream Dream frosting that I use on everything…except this time I would add in some crushed Oreo crumbs and top the cupcake with half an Oreo. I figured this combination of sinful ingredients would make something yummy, but in my opinion these turned out amazing…even though pictures are craptastic! If you have never tried this recipe for chocolate cake, please take my word for it or head over to allrecipes and peruse the over 1,000 reviews!
1 (18.25 ounce) package devil’s food cake mix
1 (5.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/2 cup warm water
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (I used miniature)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, mix together the cake and pudding mixes, sour cream, oil, beaten eggs and water. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour batter into a well greased 12 cup bundt pan.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cake thoroughly in pan at least an hour and a half before inverting onto a plate If desired, dust the cake with powdered sugar.

I’m right there with you: oreos are just awesome. There’s something magical about them! And looks like there’s something magical about these cupcakes as well. From the chocolate cake to the frosting, I’m hooked: I’ve got to make these ASAP!
Those cupcakes look so good!
I have seen that recipe on allrecipes a few times I just havent made it yet, now with Oreos I just might!

These are just gorgeous! I love oreos, I’m sure they’re even better in cupcake form.
I’ve made a similar recipe for over 20 years; mine has brewed coffee in it. It’s our favorite easy crowd pleasing cake. Love your oreo cupcake version!

Oh my goodness I’d eat just the frosting!
I respect your love or Oreos. These are beautiful!
I am just making these for the first time right now and had to eat on to ‘test’ it, warm of course, and wow! Very moist, you can tell they have a pudding in them. Thanks for my new go to recipe. Tomorrow I will frost.
I made these with green/cookie icing for a st.patty’s green desert. Also added mint chips instead of chocolate chips into the batter. Then used the mint oreos on top. Very good!
I made these for a bachelorette party and they were a big hit! Thanks
I just made these to take to work in the morning and they are GOOOOOD! Obviously I had to um… test them to make sure they were suitable to take
Also, I really love the Buttercream Dream frosting!! I’ve never been a big frosting fan, but this stuff is awesome. It was also awesome with the additions for the raspberry lemon cupcakes!
I made the cake in this recipe for cupcakes. Everyone LOVED them. I added a half Oreo on the bottom as a surprise and made some cream cheese oreo frosting. and topped with a mini Oreo. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe.
