Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Cupcakes Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER CUP STUFFED CUPCAKES

Steps:

• At least 30 minutes before making the cake, take the eggs (3 large) out of the refrigerator and measure out the milk (151 grams, ⅔ cup) to come to room temperature.
• Position the oven rack to the center position. Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Line 2 muffin tins with paper liners.
• Measure out the rest of the ingredients. The coffee or water should be very hot when you mix the cake.
• In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, sift together the flour (240 grams, 2 cups), cocoa powder (100 grams, 1 ¼ cup), granulated sugar (450 grams, 2 ¼ cup), baking powder (7 grams, 2 teaspoons), and baking soda (4 grams, ¾ teaspoon). Add the salt (3 grams, ¾ teaspoon) and whisk to evenly distribute.
• Add the oil (170 grams, ¾ cup) into the mixing bowl and mix on medium/low speed with a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for about 1 minute, until well combined.
• Add the eggs and vanilla extract (1 tablespoon) to the bowl, and mix on medium/low speed until all incorporated.
• With the mixer still running, slowly pour in the milk and then the hot coffee or water (340 grams, 1 ½ cups).
• Continue mixing until everything is evenly incorporated- about 1 minute. This is a very thin batter. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
• Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Leave about ½-inch space at the tops.
• Bake at 350°F/175°C for about 18-25 minutes. Pull out of the oven when the cake is firm but springs back when gently pressed in the center, or when a cake tester comes out clean.
• Cool the cupcakes completely before frosting.
• At least 30 minutes before making the buttercream, take the butter (454 grams, 2 cups) out of the refrigerator to soften at room temperature.
• Measure out the rest of the ingredients.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed for about 1 minute, until fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
• Add the powdered sugar (600 grams, 5 cups) and cocoa powder (107 grams, 1 ⅓ cups) into the mixing bowl and start mixing on low until the sugar starts to combine with the butter. Turn the mixing speed up to medium-high and beat for about 3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract (2 teaspoons) and salt (2 grams, ½ teaspoon).
• Add a splash of milk or heavy cream if needed to thin out the texture. If the texture becomes too thin, you can add a bit more powdered sugar until you get a spreadable consistency.
• Frost the cupcakes and decorate with additional chopped mini peanut butter cups.
• Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
