PEANUT BUTTER CUPCAKES WITH PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
• Line 2 muffin tins with muffin papers (you'll end up with about 16-18 cupcakes total).
• In a large bowl beat together the oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Or whisk by hand
• Beat (or whisk) in the peanut butter, ensuring that there are no lumps of brown sugar.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
• In a liquid measuring cup, gently whisk together the sour cream and milk with a fork.
• Carefully whisk about 1/2 of the flour mixture into the peanut butter mixture, followed by about 1/2 of the sour cream and milk mixture. Repeat the process until everything is mixed together. Its important to do this step by hand to avoid over mixing the batter.
• Spoon into the prepared cupcake liners filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full. You should end up with about 16 cupcakes total. If you only make 12 cupakes, then you've filled the liners too full.
• Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• In a large bowl beat the butter until fluffy.
• Then beat in the peanut butter until smooth.
• Add in the vanilla extract and 2 cups powdered sugar. Beat together on low speed until combined.
• Beat in the rest of the powdered sugar about 1/2 cup at a time, alternating with 1 tablespoon of cream until the desired sweetness and consistency is reached.
• Frost with a knife or piping bag (I used a piping bag and 1M tip) and decorate with peanut butter candies.

• Stack the bottom and middle cake layers on the prepared cooling rack. Fill the hole in the center with the peanut butter filling. Place the last cake layer on top. Invert the cake onto a plate and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Pour some of the hardening chocolate sauce over the top of the cake and use a rubber spatula to gently smooth and level it. Using a silicone brush, apply more of the chocolate sauce on the sides of the cake. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto a serving platter. Spread the remaining chocolate sauce on top of the cake in an even layer and chill in the refrigerator until set.
