• Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
• Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth.
• Mix in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until the frosting is light and fluffy.
• Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies until evenly distributed.
• Frost the cooled cupcakes with the Oreo frosting.
