Categories     Cupcakes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups granulated sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup light sour cream
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups milk (I use nonfat)
1 ½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
5 ½ cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 jar (7oz) marshmallow crème
2 jars (7oz) marshmallow crème
2 cups chopped peanuts (light salted or unsalted)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a with cupcake liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until the eggs and oil are well incorporated and the batter is lighter in color, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl as needed. Next mix in the sour cream and beat until well combined.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Alternate adding half the dry ingredients followed by the half the milk and mix just until the flour starts to incorporate. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and stir the batter from the bottom to the top to ensure it's well mixed.
  • Using a large cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly, filling each liner 2/3 full. Careful not to overfill. Bake at 350°F for 14-16 minutes. Test the cupcakes for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cupcake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cupcakes are done. Cool Completely.
  • Cut the butter into pieces. Using the paddle attachment, whip the butter at medium high speed for 3-4 minutes, scraping down the bowl occasionally. Beat the butter until it looks lighter in color.
  • Next add the peanut butter and incorporate into the butter, scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Slowly add the powdered sugar, 2 cups at a time, adding the heavy cream and vanilla intermittently, mixing on low speed until it's incorporated into the butter. Then increase the speed to high and beat for 30-60 seconds. Repeat until all your powdered sugar has been added.
  • Lastly, add the marshmallow crème and beat until it's well incorporated. Use a large piping bag fitted with a large open round piping tip to decorate these cupcakes.
  • Use a cupcake cupcake corer and take the top half of the center of your cupcakes out.
  • Fill your piping bag with marshmallow crème and use the piping bag to fill the centers of the cupcakes.
  • Pull the tops off those center pieces you previously removed and plop it back on top of the marshmallow filling.
  • Chop the peanuts into small pieces. Hold the cupcake in one hand and fill your other hand with peanuts. Gently press the peanuts into sides of the frosting. Store in an airtight container.

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 24 cup cakes, 18-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package devil's food cake mix (any chocolate cake mix will do)
1 (6 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix (I use sugar free)
1 cup sour cream (low fat is fine)
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or 1 tablespoon canola oil
4 eggs
1/4 cup coffee, if you don't have coffee add water instead (instant or brewed)
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
1/2-1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I like mini and it's optional)
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme (1 cup)
1/2-3/4 cup peanut butter (use more if you want more peanut butter taste)
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine, softened
1/2-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 -2 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Cake:Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, mix together the cake and pudding mixes, sour cream, applesauce, oil, eggs, coffee/water, milk, and vanilla. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Fill pan: 2 round cake pans, 1 bunt pan, or 24 cup cakes. **For cup cakes, spray or use liners and fill each with one level ice cream scoop, it makes the perfect amount.
  • Bake for 50 to 55 minutes for cake or 20-25 min for cupcakes. It is done when the top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean, test twice because you might have hit a chocolate chip the first time. Cool cake thoroughly in pan at least an hour and a half before inverting onto a plate and frosting.
  • Frosting:In small bowl with mixer at low speed (or by hand), combine marshmallow creme, peanut butter, butter, and vanilla until blended.
  • Increase speed to medium (or keep mixing by hand) and add confectioners' sugar and milk, adding just enough milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients and equipment. This will ensure a smooth baking process.
  • Properly Measure Flour: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure flour. Scooping flour directly from the bag can result in too much flour, leading to dense cupcakes.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar Until Light and Fluffy: This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter texture. Creaming for at least 2-3 minutes is recommended.
  • Gradually Add Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the batter from curdling.
  • Do Not Overmix: Overmixing can result in tough cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use Fresh Baking Powder and Baking Soda: Old baking agents may not react properly, affecting the rise of the cupcakes.
  • Fill Cupcake Liners Only ⅔ Full: This allows the cupcakes to rise properly without overflowing.
  • Bake Cupcakes in the Center of the Oven: This ensures even baking.
  • Cool Cupcakes Completely Before Frosting: This prevents the frosting from melting and sliding off the cupcakes.
  • Make Frosting Ahead of Time: Frosting can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before using.
