Ingredients
- Cupcakes:
- 1 cup unsalted sweet cream butter, softened
- 3 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 3 cup flour
- 1 cup cocoa
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup peanut butter
- Frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted sweet cream butter
- 3 cup powder sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 5 TBS heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and fill a cupcake pan with cupcake lines.
In a large bowl, add the butter, sugar, and cream until mixed.
Add eggs, beating one at a time.
Add in the vanilla and mix.
In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, combine the milk and water.
Add in the dry ingredients, alternating between the wet and dry, beating well after each addition.
Fill paper 2/3 of the way and bake for about 20 minutes or until toothpicks are done.
Cool on wire racks.
Add all ingredients to a standing mixer and mix until combined and stiff peaks form.
If powdered sugar pebbles form, add in 1-2 more tablespoons of heavy cream.
If the frosting is too thin, add in 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Mix until stiff and it doesn't fall off a spoon when you turn it upside down.
In a small bowl, add the extra cup of peanut butter and put it in the microwave for 1 minute.
Carve out a small hole in the center of the cupcake and fill it with melted peanut butter.
Frost the cupcakes with peanut butter and drizzle with chocolate.
