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.

SUPER EASY PEANUT BUTTER-FILLED VANILLA CUPCAKES... YUMMY!



Super Easy Peanut Butter-Filled Vanilla Cupcakes... Yummy! image

This is a wonderful recipe i came up with while having one of those "I really feel like baking something iv'e never tried before" days. (Yes, that's right! I came up with this recipe myself!). I was feeling like baking some cupcakes, and at the same time, I was staring at my "Peanut Butter dough" recipe. What that is, is a dough that consists mostly of peanut butter, of course, and obviously tastes very much like peanut butter! I really like this recipe because it is super quick and easy, and really comes in handy when you find yourself stuck in one of those situations where you have to bake something right out of the gourmet oven in less than an hour for preparation! If you are planning on making this recipe not at this very moment, these are a few things you should get ready before you start baking: Have all of your pans ready, and all of your measuring cups, and spoons ready. Main hint: BE PREPARED! :) Another thing is: make the cupcakes first, then get them out and chill them in the fridge while making the peanut butter filling

Time 37m

Yield 24 cupcakes, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box of betty crocker super moist vanilla cake mix
1 1/4 water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 whole eggs
1 1/4 cups peanut butter
3/8 cup butter, softened. (3/8 cup, for those beginner bakers, is an imaginary line right in half between the 1/4 sign, and the)
1/2 tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • VANILLA CUPCAKES:
  • Follow the directions on the box.
  • Let cool in fridge while making the peanut butter filling.
  • PEANUT BUTTER FILLING:.
  • In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, the softened butter, and the vanilla.
  • Mix on medium (if you don't have a mixer, just go ahead and use a fork, not spoon!) until smooth.
  • Slowly beat in the powdered sugar while mixing.
  • Using a wooden spoon, scrape in any of the pwodered sugar that remained on side of bowl.
  • The mix may not be fully mixed together, so stick your hands in it and knead the mix until very smooth and doughy.
  • NOTE: If the mix is still a little too sticky, or isn't doughy enough to roll out, gradually add in a little bit of powdered sugar while kneading with hands.
  • FROSTING FOR CUPCAKES:
  • No need to tell you how to make the frosting if you did buy the kind in the plastic container! But I will tell you that if you use a wilton metal frosting spatula, it makes your frosting skills look a lot better, and it's more fun!
  • HOW TO FILL THE CUPCAKES:.
  • Cut the top off of the cupcake and set aside.
  • Roll out about one fourth of the peanut butter mix.
  • Take the top of the cupcake and place on top of any area on the rolled out peanut butter dough.
  • Take a knife, and trace the amount of filling you will need to fit the top of that cupcake.
  • Cut it out, and place on top of cut cupcake.
  • Then place the cupcake top back on cupcake.
  • Frost, if desired.

Tips:

  • For the perfect brownie batter, make sure to whisk the dry ingredients together before adding the wet ingredients. This will help prevent lumps. Also, don't overmix the batter, as this will make the brownies tough.
  • When filling the cupcake liners, only fill them about halfway full. This will allow the brownies to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Be careful not to overbake the brownies. They should be cooked through but still have a slightly fudgy center.
  • For the peanut butter filling, make sure to use smooth peanut butter. Crunchy peanut butter will not work well in this recipe.
  • When dipping the brownies in chocolate, use a fork to carefully lower them into the melted chocolate. This will help prevent the brownies from breaking.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the peanut butter filling into the brownies.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter-filled chocolate brownie cupcakes are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cupcakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
