Peanut Butter Cupcakes Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER CUPCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, mix together sugar, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add peanut butter and mix until combined.
• Add eggs and peanut oil and mix until just combined.
• Slowly add milk and mix on low speed until just combined. The batter will be liquidy. (Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong. It's supposed to be that way.)
• Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full.
• Bake for 14 minutes and then test to see if they are done. They are done when a toothpick comes out without wet batter stuck to it. If they are not done, test again in two minutes. If they are still not done, test again in another two minutes.
• When the cupcakes are done, remove them immediately from the tins and leave them on a cooling rack (or just on your counter if you don't own a cooling rack) to cool.
• Beat butter on high speed with an electric mixer for about three minutes until light and airy.
• Add peanut butter and salt and continue to beat for another minute.
• Mix in powdered sugar a little bit at a time.
• If desired, add more powdered sugar to make the buttercream frosting stiffer.

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 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.

• Frost with a knife or piping bag (I used a piping bag and 1M tip) and decorate with peanut butter candies.
