Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
- Add the cocoa powder and mix until just combined. With the mixer on low, slowly add the buttermilk, then the dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
- Fill the cupcake liners three-quarters full with the batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, and heavy cream until a thick frosting forms. Spread or pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
- Serve and enjoy!
