Instructions

Make the sponges

Beat together the melted butter and sugar.
Beat in the eggs.
Stir in the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder.
Stir in the milk and vanilla.
Line the muffin tray with muffin cases and divide the mixture evenly between them.
Bake for about 25 minutes until springy on top.
Leave on a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the frosting

Beat the butter and icing together until fluffy.
Stick the Oreos (not the mini ones) in a food processor (or bash them in a bag) until fine crumbs.
Stir the Oreo crumb into the frosting.
Add the milk and vanilla and beat again until lovely and light.
Transfer into your piping back and pipe generous swirls on top of each muffin
Top with a mini Oreo (a great job for little hands) and leave to set a little

Notes

If you can't get hold of mini Oreos, push half an Oreo into the frosting of each cupcake.
