Chocolate Ganache Peanut Butter Cupcakes
I've been baking cakes for years and enjoy trying new combinations of flavors and textures. For this peanut butter cupcake recipe, I blended peanut butter and chocolate. As soon as I took the first bite, I knew I had created something divine! —Ronda Schabes, Vicksburg, Michigan

As a novice baker I had so much fun baking these! The only thing I struggled with was the icing. The egg whites were stiff peaks but as soon as I started adding the butter, it all went flat. Could you please advise what I can do next time to correct this because they are the best things I have ever baked! Thank you ??
Made these for a couple of special events (boss's birthday, Son's birthday at hospital where he works). Well received and, according to my son, still talked about. First time making them seemed challenging. Definitely got easier more time made them. In fact, son turns 30 tomorrow, Making them again!!
Cupcakes are delicious- my only issue was the buttercream - it seemed burnt at the bottom - next time I may try in a bowl over the pot instead
I made these to break in my new stand mixer. I can't possibly thank you enough of gush over them enough! The sponge was perfection. The filling divine. I did use a different PB Buttercream, but only bc I didn't want a cooked frosting. So my rating is for the cake, filling, and ganache. My new go-to!
My most prized and amazing cupcake. It is definitely a WINNER
I substituted a brown sugar/peanut butter icing that did not require cooking, but that was just my preference. I have had two people tell me "these are the best cupcakes I have ever eaten". I tend to agree!
This recipe knocks my socks off! I have made it many times. It's simply fabulous! If you're looking for a top-quality recipe that's great for celebrations -look no further. Great cupcakes for weddings, birthdays, you name it! These are soooooo delicious.
note to jet5657-it says 1/2 cup peanut butter in filling and 1/3 cup peanut butter in frosting. hope that helps
How much peanut butter do you add for frosting? This doesn't have peanut butter in ingredients but says "peanut butter frosting".
Well then Taunya, I’m all in
