JELLY-FILLED CUPCAKES WITH PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line one 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper cupcake liners. Gently spray the liners with baking spray and set aside.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt over a large piece of paper. In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, egg yolk and vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Pour in the milk and continue to mix until smooth (the batter may look curdled at first but will smooth out). Pick up the paper with the dry ingredients and gradually pour into the wet ingredients. Continue to mix just until blended.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared tin, filling the cups about three-quarters full. Bake until the tops of the cupcakes spring back to the touch and are not too golden, about 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 15 minutes, and then allow to cool completely on a wire rack before filling, frosting or decorating.
- Fill a squeeze bottle with the grape jelly and screw on the cap. Carefully insert the tip of the squeeze bottle as far as it will go into the tops of the cupcakes. Gently squeeze about 1 tablespoon jelly inside of each cupcake. Ice the tops of the cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting to cover. Decorate with your favorite candy.
- Beat the peanut butter, butter and cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar and continue to mix until the frosting is smooth. Mix in the milk and continue to mix until it reaches a good spreading consistency.
PB&J STUFFED CUPCAKES
Kids (and kids at heart) are going to love these nostalgic cupcakes that take the flavors of peanut butter and jelly and transform them into a fun dessert. I like to use a cupcake corer to take out the centers to be filled with jelly, but you can also use a small paring knife if you prefer.

Steps:
- For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Beat the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment at medium speed until creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then, beat in the vanilla.
- Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In three additions, beat the flour mixture into the creamed butter mixture, alternating with additions of the milk, starting and ending with flour.
- Divide the batter evenly into the paper liners, filling them two-thirds full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting.
- For the peanut butter frosting: Beat the butter and peanut butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment at medium speed until creamy. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth. Add the milk, vanilla and salt, and beat until smooth and spreadable. Spoon the frosting into a pastry bag or zip-top bag fitted with a star tip.
- To finish the cupcakes, cut a small cylinder out of the center of each cupcake with a knife or cupcake corer, reserving the cake circles for another use. Spoon the grape jelly into a pastry bag and pipe a small amount into each hole. Pipe the frosting on top of each cupcake and decorate with purple sprinkles.

Steps:
- Put an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a standard 12 cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter and sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the sour cream to the butter and sugar mixture and continue to beat until incorporated. Add the eggs and yolk, 1 at a time, beating until thoroughly mixed into the batter. Add in the vanilla and continue to mix. Slowly add the dry ingredients, in increments, and mix until combined.
- Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners to fill 3/4 of the way. Put in the oven and bake until the cupcakes are a pale gold color and a cake tester comes out clean, about for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting and filling.
- Meanwhile, fit a plain pastry tip to the bottom of a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag and fill with strawberry jelly. Once the cupcakes are cool, insert the tip far into the cupcake and slowly squeeze in about 1 tablespoon or so of jam. Be careful not to overfill the cupcakes or they will crumble and explode. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes. Frost the cupcakes with the Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting using a pastry bag and a star tip. Sprinkle lightly with the confetti sprinkles and serve.
- In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and butter. Beat until well combined, then add the vanilla and peanut butter and beat until well mixed. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar and beat until well incorporated.
PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CUPCAKES WITH PEANUT BUTTER BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
Steps:
- For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cream the granulated sugar and the butter until thoroughly mixed. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the oil and vanilla. Cream the batter until fluffy.
- Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Alternate mixing in the flour mixture and the buttermilk into the creamed mixture, until completely mixed. Distribute the batter into the cupcake liners. Bake the cupcakes, about 12 minutes.
- For the peanut butter buttercream: Mix the butter on high speed for 3 minutes. Add the vanilla flavoring on low speed. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar on low speed. Mix in the peanut butter.
- Grease a microwave-safe bowl with the shortening. Add the marshmallows and microwave on high for 30 second increments. Stir the marshmallows with a spatula between the time increments. Mix in the confectioners' sugar until the consistency you desire is reached. Shape the marshmallow mixture into the desired shape using your hands.
- Squirt the jelly filling into the center of each cupcake. Pipe the peanut butter buttercream in a ring onto the top of each cupcake. Fill the center of each peanut butter buttercream ring with more jelly filling. Place the chopped peanuts on the outside ring of the peanut butter buttercream. Garnish each cupcake with the marshmallow worms.

JELLY-FILLED CUPCAKES WITH PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING
Cake, jelly, peanut butter, and chocolate... how can you go wrong with this combination? This makes a lot of frosting, but if the kids are helping, they might leave just enough for the cupcakes. I just double the cupcake recipe, or you could half the frosting recipe. The frosting is so good, my dad, who normally doesn't eat too much sweets, just wanted to eat it straight from the bowl! I tweaked it just a little, and it got even better! It's perfect... light, fluffy, peanut buttery goodness. If you like, you could use your favorite jam or jelly in place of the grape jelly.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pan with baking cups.
- For the cupcakes, sift flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping occasionally.
- Beat in eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla. Reduce speed to low, scraping occasionally.
- Slowly pour in milk and mix until smooth. Gradually add flour mixture and mix just until blended. Scoop batter evenly into pans, about 3/4 full. Bake 20 minutes. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.
- Fill jelly in a squirt bottle and screw on cap. Carefully insert into cupcake and gently squeeze in about 1 teaspoon of jelly, making three insertions in a line in the middle of the cupcake.
- For the frosting, mix butter, cream cheese, and peanut butter in medium bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Slowly add powdered sugar and ground cinnamon and continue to mix until smooth.
- Add milk and vanilla and mix until frosting is a good spreading consistency. Frost cupcakes.
- Sprinkle mini chocolate chips or crushed candy bars on frosting.
Tips:
- For the perfect cupcake, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a tender and moist crumb.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cupcake.
- Be sure to fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing when they bake.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20 minutes, but may vary depending on your oven.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the cupcakes soggy.
- For the peanut butter frosting, be sure to use creamy peanut butter. This will help create a smooth and creamy frosting.
- If the frosting is too thick, you can add a little bit of milk or cream to thin it out.
- To make the jelly filling, simply heat your favorite jelly or jam in a saucepan until it is melted. You can then use a spoon to fill the cupcakes.

Jelly-filled cupcakes with peanut butter frosting are a delicious and fun treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can easily make these cupcakes at home. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
