Time 45m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup boiling water
14 miniature peanut butter cup candies
4 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon peanut butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 14 muffin cups with paper muffin liners.
  • Whisk flour, 1 cup sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Add milk, vegetable oil, 1 egg, and vanilla extract; mix using an electric mixer on low speed until just combined. Increase speed to medium and mix well.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly pour boiling water into flour mixture. Increase speed to medium and beat for 1 minute.
  • Fill each muffin cup halfway and place a peanut butter cup in the center of each.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden and tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Cool completely on a cooling rack before frosting.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Whisk egg whites and sugar together in a bowl until just combined. Pour egg mixture into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Return egg mixture to bowl. Whisk egg mixture on high speed until still peaks form.
  • Place peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high at 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until peanut butter is thin and creamy. Gently fold melted peanut butter into egg whites. Transfer peanut butter frosting to a piping bag.
  • Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes.
  • Toast cupcakes under preheated broiler until lightly browned, about 1 minute.

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups butter
4 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 (1 ounce) squares semi-sweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Cream the butter until light and fluffy.
  • In a large bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Add the sugar gradually to the egg whites, beating all the while. Add in the whipped butter. The frosting may clump at this point if the butter is at all chilled. Don't worry, it just means that the frosting will require more beating. Beat until smooth.
  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave. Cool slightly; the chocolate should still be fairly warm. Beat into the butter frosting.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.

  • Continue whipping the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy.
  • Add the sugar gradually, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip the egg whites.
  • Once all of the sugar has been added, continue whipping the egg whites for a few more minutes until they are thick and fluffy.
  • Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chocolate meringue frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
