Mini Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Icing Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • For the icing:
  • Place the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium-low speed until creamy, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula as you work. Add the cream and beat on high speed until the mixture is light and smooth.
  • For the cupcakes:
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F and line a muffin tin with cupcake papers.
  • In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large measuring cup mix together the canola oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla until the eggs are fully incorporated. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and fold until just combined. Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, about 3/4 up each liner. Bake in the center of the oven about 25 minutes or until the tops spring back to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting (pipe it on or just spread with offset spatula). Garnish each with a roasted peanuts, if desired.
