1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter (room temperature)
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar
2 to 4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  • Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to a medium bowl. Whisk until combined and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the butter and sugar. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until creamed.
  • Add the vanilla extract and then the eggs one at a time, beating in each egg until combined before adding the next.
  • Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the bowl starting and ending with flour, beating in each addition before adding the next.
  • Fill each cupcake liner 2/3 of the way full with batter.
  • Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 15 minutes.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for five minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

  • Place a Wilton 1M piping tip in the bottom of a large piping bag and put the tips of the two smaller piping bags inside. Swirl the icing on top of each cupcake.

PEANUT BUTTER FILLED CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE



Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Cupcake image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 17

10 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
6 ounces peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups cake flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs, separated
1 1/3 cups whole milk
4 cups (1 quart) heavy cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line cupcake pans with cupcake liners (for a total of 24 cupcakes).
  • For the peanut butter filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the granulated sugar. Beat in the vanilla and eggs, scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue to mix until smooth. Set aside.
  • For the chocolate cupcake batter: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream 1 cup of the granulated sugar with the oil. Slowly add the vanilla extract and egg yolks to the creamed sugar while mixing, and beat until incorporated.
  • In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the egg whites and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar until firm peaks form. Do not over-whip.
  • Turn the stand mixer on the lowest speed. Add the dry ingredients and milk, alternating between the two and scraping down the sides after each addition. Mix on medium for 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate batter in three parts.
  • Scoop one scoop of the chocolate cupcake batter into each cupcake liner. Top with one scoop of the peanut butter filling. The liners will be about two-thirds full. Bake until the cupcakes are nicely domed and the chocolate bounces back from gentle pressure, about 22 minutes; the peanut butter filling will not be firm. Remove from the pans and cool.
  • For the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip the cream.
  • Ice the cooled cupcakes with the frosting using a pastry bag fitted with the desired tip.

Time 1h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 cup cold water
½ cup creamy peanut butter

2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons milk, or more as needed

Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Soy     Dessert     Bake     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Tofu     Vegan     Peanut Butter     Pescatarian     Tree Nut Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Serves 18 (Makes 18 cupcakes)

Number Of Ingredients 20

CUPCAKES
2 3/4 cups sprouted spelt flour or whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1/2 cup canola oil
1 1/4 cups light agave nectar
1 cup soy milk
1/2 cup firm silken tofu
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
FILLING
12 ounces light firm silken tofu
1/2 cup light agave nectar
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Vegan Chocolate Ganache Frosting
Chopped toasted peanuts, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line 2 cupcake pans with 18 paper liners and fill the empty cups half full of water to prevent scorching.
  • To make the cupcakes, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder together in a large bowl. In a food processor, blend the canola oil, agave nectar, soy milk, tofu, vanilla extract, and vinegar, scraping down the bowl often. Blend until very smooth, with no chunks of tofu visible, about 2 to 3 minutes. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Stir well and spoon into the prepared cupcake pan, leaving some room at the top of each cup. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the pan and place on a cooling rack. Cool completely before filling and frosting.
  • To prepare the filling, blend the tofu in a food processor until very smooth and creamy, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Add the agave nectar and blend again. Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt and blend thoroughly until very light and smooth. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to firm before filling the cupcakes.
  • To assemble the cupcakes, you will need a pastry bag fitted with a large, plain smooth tip. Fill the pastry bag with peanut butter mousse and insert the tip halfway into the top of a cupcake. Squeeze filling inside each cupcake just until it starts to expand.
  • Next frost the tops. If the frosting is too firm, heat in the microwave for a few seconds to soften it up. Spread the ganache evenly over the tops of the cupcakes. Let the cupcakes sit in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Garnish with peanuts if desired.
