To make the cupcakes:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the sugar, flour, cake flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  • Mix in the butter on low speed, until the mixture resembles moist crumbs (about 2 minutes).
  • Stir in the eggs,one at a time, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula after each addition.
  • Add the Greek yogurt and vanilla, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl to be sure all the ingredients are well-combined.
  • Beat on medium speed for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, to aerate the batter and build the cake’s structure.
  • Fill lined cupcake wells just over half full (approx. 1/4 cup of batter).
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  • Cool completely before frosting.

For the frosting:

  • Place the softened butter and salt in a large mixing bowl and beat together until creamy.
  • Add the powdered sugar, 1 1/2 cups at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
  • When all the powdered sugar has been mixed in, add the vanilla extract, turn the mixer speed up to medium-high, and whip until fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  • Pour the heavy cream down the side of the mixing bowl, in a slow and steady stream, while whipping.
  • Add the crushed Oreo cookie crumbs, folding in gently until just barely combined.
  • Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a use a 4B tip.
  • Pipe the frosting in a swirl on each cupcake, and garnish with an Oreo cookie.
