My next cupcake recipe is below.  Chocolate peanut butter.  Looks amazing.  Will make it soon... say... Friday night?  Yes, Friday night would be good.  A real T.G.I.F. as they say.  A real sweet start to the weekend.  Yessiree Bob.  Gonna make these.  Lookin' forward to Friday night now.  Not just for the cupcakes... also because it means I'm done working for a day.  Saturday off and all that good stuff.  The weekend with my sweet hubby.  Lots of fragmented sentences there.  Huh?  Yep.  Okay, okay, here's the link.


Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake Recipe


Here's the text for the ol' recipe-o.

CAKE INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups flour
• 2 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs

PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING INGREDIENTS

• 10 ounces cream cheese (room temp.)
• 1 stick unsalted butter (room temp.)
• 5 cups powdered sugar/confectioners sugar
• 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter

DIRECTIONS

1. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large mixer bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add vegetable oil and sour cream and mix until blended.
4. Slowly add in water (to prevent water from flying out of your mixing bowl).
5. Add white vinegar, vanilla extract, and eggs, and mix until blended well.
6. Place paper liners in your cupcake tin, and fill each about three quarters of the way full.
7. Bake for around 20-22 minutes at 350 degrees, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
8. While cupcakes are baking, begin making peanut butter frosting by combining the cream cheese and unsalted butter in your mixer. Beat until fluffy.
9. Add in 5 cups of powdered sugar, one cup at a time.
10. Lastly, add in the peanut butter and mix until it’s blended well. Make sure to scrape down the sides of your mixer bowl to ensure everything is combined.
11. When cupcakes have cooled, frost them.
12. Try to not eat all of the cupcakes in one sitting. Enjoy!
