Ingredients:

1¾ cups all purpose flour

1½ tsp baking soda

4 tbsp/2 oz butter, at room temperature

1 cup buttermilk (or substitute by putting 1 tbsp white vinegar in a cup then filling the rest up with milk; let stand 5 minutes until thickened)

1 cup hot coffee (or 2 tsp instant coffee in 1 cup boiling water)

1 cup/4 oz confectioners' sugar

8 oz/250 g cream cheese (one block), at room temperature

2 large eggs

2 cups granulated white sugar

30 oreo cookies, thoroughly crushed

¾ teaspoon salt

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Equipment:

muffin tray

bowl

oven

spatula

measuring cup

muffin liners

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners; set aside.In the large bowl of a standing mixer, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla extract and beat until smooth (about 3 minutes). Remove bowl from mixer and stir in hot coffee with a rubber spatula. Batter will be very runny.Remove bowl from mixer, and pour batter into a large liquid measuring cup with a spout. Divide batter among prepared muffin cups, filling each no more than two-thirds full (or else batter will rise over and make a big mess - not bigger cupcakes). Bake 20-24 minutes, or until cupcakes feel slightly springy when you gently press their centres. Transfer cupcakes to wire racks to cool completely (at least two hours) before frosting.Combine cream cheese, butter and vanilla extract in the bowl of a standing mixer and beat on medium speed until thoroughly combined. With mixer speed on low, gradually add confectioners' sugar until fully incorporated, then increase speed back to medium and beat until very light and fluffy - about two minutes. With mixer speed on low, incorporate the 30 finely crushed Oreos. OR, for a more distinct "Cookies & Cream" effect, just gently fold them in using a rubber spatula.When cupcakes have cooled completely (and by that I mean not a trace of warmth whatsoever or frosting will melt), frost cupcakes by spooning a big dollop onto the centre and patting it down until it spreads nicely to the edges, or transfer frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large circle tip and pipe onto cupcakes. Sprinkle frosted cupcakes with the 6 lightly crushed oreo cookies.

Food Joke

You know your mother is Jewish when She cries at your bris - because you’re not engaged already. She shouts “Mazeltov.” - every time she hears some crockery break. She does all her Pesach shopping for next Pesach as soon as Passover ends – because she can buy the essential items at sale prices. She calls you many times a day before 10am - because she wants to ask you how your day is going. She takes an extra suitcase with her on holiday – because where else can she put the hotel’s face cloths, soaps, shampoos, bath oils, shower hats and shoe shiners? She cries at your Barmitzvah - because you’re not engaged already. She goes to her doctor for every minor ailment – so she can show your photo to the young single doctors. She won’t let you leave home without a coat and some advice on dating – because ‘mother knows best’. She takes restaurant leftovers home with her - “I should throw away?” She cries on your 21st birthday - because you’re not engaged already. She’s serves you chopped liver every week - because just once, when you were young, you told her you loved chopped liver. She makes an extra shabbos table setting – because you just might have met your beshert on the way over. She gets mad with you if you buy jewellery at full price – because she knows someone who could have got it cheaper in Tel Aviv. She encourages you to do whatever you want with your life - as long as it includes grandchildren. She’s regularly heard muttering - “Is one grandchild too much to ask for?
