Time 1h2m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup hot water
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
1 ½ tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 ½ cups mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
7 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup white sugar
48 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®)
48 brown candy-coated milk chocolate pieces (such as M&M's®)
24 orange or yellow candy-coated milk chocolate pieces (such as M&M's®)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 muffin tins with paper liners.
  • Combine 2 cups sugar, flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a bowl.
  • Whisk buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Add flour mixture; mix until well-combined. Pour in hot water; stir until batter is smooth. Divide batter evenly among muffin tins.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 12 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Whip 3/4 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoon heavy cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold in 1 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese, 7 tablespoons cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup sugar gently to make frosting.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon frosting over each cooled cupcake.
  • Twist chocolate sandwich cookies open, leaving all cream filling on 1 side. Place 2 cookies, cream filling-side up, on each cupcake to make owl eyes. Place a brown milk chocolate piece on each cookie to create pupils. Insert an orange or yellow milk chocolate piece in the center to make a beak.

OREO OWL CUPCAKES RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Oreo Owl Cupcakes Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 4

Prepared chocolate cupcakes (cake mix or homemade)
Chocolate frosting (canned or homemade)
Chocolate Oreo cookies
Brown and Orange (or Yellow) Reese's Peanut Butter Pieces (or M&M's)

Steps:

  • The photo is pretty much self explanatory for assembling cupcakes but basic directions are below. Bake and cool cupcakes. They need to be flat on top so trim off any excess straight across with a sharp paring knife before frosting. Frost cupcakes with chocolate frosting. In the meantime, while cupcakes are cooling, prepare the Oreos by separating them in the middle to expose the filling on one half, leaving the other half clean. (A slight twist should work.) You will need 2 frosted halves and 1 clean half (cut in half), plus 2 brown candies and 1 orange (or yellow) candy for each cupcake. I recommend preparing all the cookies and attaching the brown candy "eyes" to the frosted halves (just press slightly into the filling) BEFORE you start assembling the cupcakes. Assemble the cupcakes. (Refer to photo for placement.) As I finished each cupcake I placed it in the refrigerator to set the frosting while I worked on the others. HOOT, HOOT!!

If the cream filling of the sandwich cookies is discolored by cookie crumbs when twisted open, gently scrape with a paring knife to remove loose crumbs before using.

Time 2h55m

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 recipe One-Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes
1 recipe Chocolate Ganache Frosting
48 cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos, twisted open to separate
Colorful button-shaped chocolates, such as M-and-Ms, for decorating
Skin-on almond slices, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 standard 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners. Divide half of batter evenly among lined muffin tin cups (about a heaping tablespoon per cup). Press 2 cookie halves without frosting into each cup, then divide remaining batter evenly atop cookies. Bake until tops spring back when touched, about 20 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Divide frosting evenly among cupcakes. Place 2 cookie halves with filling side-by-side in center of cupcakes, pressing to adhere to frosting. Press 1 button-shaped chocolate into center of each frosted cookie to mimic pupils. Press another chocolate into frosting perpendicular to the other candies and centered, just below cookies to mimic a beak. Press almonds, if using, into frosting above cookie-eyes in rows to mimic feathers, or scrape frosting with the tip of a paring knife in short, upward strokes to create a feathery look.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will ensure that your cupcakes are moist and flavorful.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making your cupcakes light and airy.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your cupcakes tough and dense.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. This will allow the cupcakes to rise properly without overflowing.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaked cupcakes will be gooey in the center, while overbaked cupcakes will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Owl cupcakes are a fun and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make these adorable cupcakes at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above and you'll be sure to end up with delicious and beautiful owl cupcakes that everyone will love.
