  5. Gently fold in self-raising flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter into cupcake cases and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Allow cooling completely.
  7. Prepare the Oreo cheesecake filling by mixing cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla extract, and crushed Oreos until smooth.
  8. Hollow out the cooled cupcakes and fill with the cheesecake mixture.
  9. For frosting, beat together softened butter, icing sugar, cocoa powder, and milk until smooth.
  10. Pipe chocolate buttercream onto each cupcake, add biscuit gravestones, sprinkle crushed Oreos around for 'dirt,' then pipe green grass buttercream as decoration.
