Double Peanut Butter Cupcakes
I was never big on peanut butter, but that has changed over the years and I came to love it.
I really love peanut butter with apples; there is just something about those 2 flavors that is deliciously satisfying.
If you haven’t tried Grilled Apple Peanut Butter Sandwich you are missing out on some serious yumminess.

I’ve been really busy these few days, baking, decorating. I made some really fun cookies, I’ll share them with you next week. I’m making a cake tonight, cupcakes tomorrow : carrot and chocolate.
Today I decided to share with a really scrumptious recipe for Peanut Butter Cupcakes. Cake flour makes these so soft and velvety. You could easily fill these with your favorite Jam and create Peanut Butter Jam Cupcakes, a favorite cousin of peanut butter jelly sandwich.
For the frosting I decided to to go with cream cheese and peanut butter. I know what you are thinking, that doesn’t sound as such a good idea, my sentiments exactly, but truth is it works. These two compliment each other so well, you’ll be licking the beaters, I promise.
Peanut Butter Cupcakes(makes about 24)
3/4 cup unsalted butter at room temperature, 1 1/2 sticks of butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar-packed
1 cup creamy peanut butter
4eggs
1cup whole milk
3 cups cake flour
1tbl baking powder
1/4tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350F
– line a standard muffing pan with cupcake liners.
– in a medium bowl sift together cake flour, baking powder and salt
-using a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat together room temperature butter and sugar. First beat on low and gradually increase speed to medium high, until fluffy, about 5 minutes.Mix in the peanut butter, then add eggs, one at a time.
On low speed, add flour, alternating with milk, in 3 parts, until smooth and well combined.
Fill the muffing pan with cupcake batter.
Bake until toothpick comes out clean, 15-20 minutes.
Cool on wire rack, remove cupcakes from the pan, and cool completely.
Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Frosting
2 (8 – ounce) Packages of cream cheese, softened
1 stick unsalted butter at room temperature
3 + cups powdered sugar
1 1/4 cup peanut butter, smooth, no substitutions, I used Skippy
beat cream cheese for a minute or two, add room temperature butter and beat until smooth
add powdered sugar in 3 additions, add smooth peanut butter
and beat until smooth.
If frosting gets too soft, put it in the fridge for 15 minutes before you pipe it onto the cupcakes.
