PEANUT BUTTER FILLED CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE



Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Cupcake image

Provided by Food Network

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.

GIANT CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY



Giant Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Cake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: nonstick cooking spray, all purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, baking soda, kosher salt, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, large eggs, vanilla extract, unsalted butter, Skippy® Creamy Peanut Butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, kosher salt, milk, heavy cream, semisweet chocolate chip, roasted, salted peanuts

Provided by Skippy

Categories     Desserts

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 18

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
4 cups all purpose flour
1 ⅓ cups natural cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 sticks unsalted butter, room temprature
3 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 sticks unsalted butter
1 ½ cups Skippy® Creamy Peanut Butter
4 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons milk
½ cup heavy cream
1 cup semisweet chocolate chip
½ cup roasted, salted peanuts, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Make the cookie cake layers: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 4 8-inch round cake pans with nonstick spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed for about 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix for 1 minute more, until incorporated.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Divide the dough evenly between the prepared cake pans, spreading evenly to cover the bottoms of the pans completely.
  • Bake the cookie cakes for 15-20 minutes, or until they have firmed up and start to pull away from the sides of the pans. It's okay if they are a bit soft in the centers, but not runny; they will continue to firm up as they cool. Let the cookie cakes cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Make the peanut butter frosting: Add the butter and Skippy® Creamy Peanut Butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix on low speed until incorporated. Add the vanilla, salt, and milk, and whip on medium speed for 3-5 minutes, or until very light and fluffy. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
  • Assemble the cookie cake: Pipe a small amount of frosting onto the center of a plate or cake stand, then place a cookie cake layer on top to secure. Pipe the frosting on top of the cookie in a spiral pattern to cover completely. Repeat with the remaining cake layers and frosting, finishing with a thin layer of frosting atop the final cookie layer. Using an offset spatula, spread the top layer of frosting evenly over the top of the cake. Using a cake scraper, gently smooth the frosting around the sides of the cake so it is flush with the edges of the cookies, adding more frosting as needed to fill any gaps. Transfer the cake to the refrigerator or freezer to chill for about 30 minutes.
  • Make the chocolate ganache: Add the cream to a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Add the chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth. Let cool for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a piping bag. Cut a small opening in the tip of the bag.
  • Remove the cake from the refrigerator. Carefully pipe the ganache around the sides of the cake so it drips over the edge, varying the length of each drip. Pipe more ganache on top of the cake and use an offset spatula to spread in an even layer.
  • Transfer the remaining peanut butter frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe dollops of frosting around the top edge of the cake. Garnish the cake with the chopped peanuts.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH PEANUT BUTTER FILLING

Make and share this Molten Chocolate Cake With Peanut Butter Filling recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Pinay0618

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
6 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (70 percent cacao)
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°. Brush four 6-ounce ramekins with melted butter. In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder with 1 tablespoon of the flour; dust the ramekins with the cocoa mixture, tapping out the excess. Transfer the ramekins to a sturdy baking sheet.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 1 stick of butter with the chocolate over very low heat, stirring occasionally. Let cool slightly.
  • In a bowl, blend the peanut butter with the 1 tablespoon of confectioners' sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the granulated sugar with the eggs and salt at medium-high speed until thick and pale yellow, 3 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the melted chocolate until no streaks remain. Fold in the 1/4 cup of flour.
  • Spoon two-thirds of the batter into the prepared ramekins, then spoon the peanut butter mixture on top. Cover with the remaining chocolate batter. Bake in the center of the oven for 16 minutes, until the tops are cracked but the centers are still slightly jiggly. Transfer the ramekins to a rack and let cool for 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Run the tip of a small knife around each cake to loosen. Invert a small plate over each cake and, using pot holders, invert again. Carefully lift off the ramekins. Dust the warm cakes with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER BUNDT CAKE



Chocolate-Peanut Butter Bundt Cake image

This cake version of a peanut butter cup boasts moist devil's food cake wrapped around a soft, peanut buttery cake core. The peanut butter cake batter will stay nicely centered if you enlist the help of a resealable plastic bag or pastry bag to pipe it into a ring in the middle of the batter, but you don't need to be so exacting. If that feels too fancy, spooning it in will yield equally delicious results. The cake is nicely sweet on its own, but take it over the top by adding peanut butter and chocolate glazes. Keep the glazes thin so that they're fluid enough not only to evenly coat the surface and run own the sides of the cake, but also so they combine and marble together to make Instagram-worthy swirls.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield One 10-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 26

3/4 cup/180 grams smooth peanut butter (not natural)
1/2 cup/115 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup/75 grams light or dark brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup/95 grams unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for dusting the pan
1 cup/240 milliliters boiling water
1 cup/240 milliliters cold buttermilk
1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
1/2 cup/120 milliliters neutral oil, like vegetable or canola
2 cups/400 grams granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups/385 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup/60 milliliters heavy cream, plus more as needed
1/4 cup/60 grams smooth peanut butter (not natural)
1/2 cup/60 grams confectioners' sugar
Pinch of fine sea salt
1/3 cup/80 milliliters heavy cream
1/3 cup/55 grams chopped bar semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Make the peanut butter filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the peanut butter, cream cheese and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and mix on medium speed until fully incorporated. Add the flour and salt and mix on low speed to combine. Scrape the mixture into a large resealable plastic bag (or pastry bag) and set aside. (Alternatively, you can scrape the mixture into a medium bowl.) If necessary, rinse and dry the paddle attachment and bowl before proceeding.
  • Make the cake: Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly spray a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick spray. Add a few spoonfuls of cocoa powder into the pan and tap it around until the pan is fully coated in cocoa.
  • Place 1 cup/95 grams cocoa powder in a medium heat-safe bowl, and pour the boiling water over it. Whisk well to combine, then add the buttermilk and whisk to combine.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, oil and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed until fully incorporated and scraping the bowl between each addition. Add the vanilla and mix on low speed to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to combine. Add about a third of this mixture to the mixer and mix on low speed to combine.
  • Add half of the cocoa-buttermilk mixture to the mixer and mix on low speed to combine. Continue to alternate adding the dry and wet ingredients until the batter is uniformly combined.
  • Pour about 2/3 of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Cut a 1-inch opening from one of the bottom corners of the bag and squeeze the peanut butter filling into the pan, making a ring in the center of the chocolate batter aiming not to touch the outer edge or inner tube of the pan. Alternatively, you can gently spoon the peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate batter, aiming to create a ring shape.
  • Pour the remaining chocolate cake batter on top of the peanut butter filling and gently spread into an even layer. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour or up to 1 hour 10 minutes.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use a small offset spatula to gently loosen the cake at the edges and around the inner tube, and invert it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Make the peanut butter glaze: Heat the cream in a small pot to a simmer. In a small heat-safe bowl, mix the peanut butter and confectioners' sugar to combine, then add the hot cream, and mix until smooth. It should be thick but still loose enough to drizzle easily.
  • Make the chocolate glaze: Heat the cream in the small pot to a simmer. Place the chocolate in a medium heat-safe bowl, then pour the hot cream over it. Stir until the mixture is totally smooth. It will be thinner than the peanut butter glaze.
  • Place the cake on the cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Spoon half of the chocolate glaze over the cake, letting it drip down the sides, then spoon half of the peanut butter glaze on top. Repeat this process with the remaining glaze, and use the back of the spoon to gently swirl where the two glazes meet in a few spots. Gently remove the cake and transfer to a serving platter. Allow the glaze to set at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
