PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CUPCAKES



Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcakes image

Provided by Patrick and Gina Neely : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 large egg yolk, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup strawberry jelly
Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting, recipe follows
Confetti pastel sprinkles, for garnish
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

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 & JELLY CUPCAKES



Peanut Butter & Jelly Cupcakes image

Fluffy vanilla cupcakes filled with your favorite jelly and topped with peanut butter frosting!

Provided by Sally

Categories     Cupcakes

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 and 3/4 cups (207g) cake flour* (spoon & leveled)
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract*
optional: seeds scraped from 1/2 of a vanilla bean
1/2 cup (120g) full-fat sour cream*
1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk*
about 1/4 cup your favorite jelly (any flavor!)
5 Tablespoons (75g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
1 cup (120g) confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup (80ml) heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
optional: crushed peanuts for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2 liners - this recipe makes about 14 cupcakes. Set aside.
  • Whisk the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy - about 1 minute. Add the sugar and beat on high speed for 2 minutes until creamed together. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the egg whites, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean (if using). Beat on medium-high speed until combined, then beat in the sour cream. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients until just incorporated. With the mixer still running on low, slowly pour in the milk until combined. Do not overmix. You may need to whisk it all by hand to make sure there are no lumps at the bottom of the bowl. The batter will be slightly thick.
  • Pour/spoon the batter into the liners - fill only 2/3 full to avoid spilling over the sides. Bake for 19-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. For around 30 mini cupcakes, bake for about 11-13 minutes, same oven temperature. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before filling and frosting.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut a circle/hole into the center of the cupcake to create a little pocket about 3/4 inch deep. Place about 1 teaspoon of jelly inside and top with the piece of cupcake you removed to seal it. See photos above for visual. Repeat with all cupcakes.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the softened butter on medium speed for 1 minute until completely smooth and creamy. Add the peanut butter and beat on medium-high speed until the two are combined. Add the confectioners' sugar, cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on low speed for about 20 seconds, then gradually increase to high speed. Beat on high for 1 minute. Frost the cupcakes. I used a Wilton piping tip #12 to frost.

PB&J STUFFED CUPCAKES



PB&J Stuffed Cupcakes image

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.

Time 1h55m

Yield 12 cupcakes; 2 1/2 cups frosting

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

  • 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.
