Tried and Tested: Peanut Butter-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes

Last weekend I made these 

Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Cupcakes:

Mix 85 grams of flour with 

1/2 tsp baking powder and

1/4 tsp salt.

Melt 115 gram butter and

170 gram semisweet chocolate either in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.

Whisk 100 gram sugar into the slightly cooled chocolate mixture and add 3 large eggs.

Stir in 2 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla powder and add this to the flour mixture.

In a separate bowl make the Peanut butter filling:

Stir together till smooth 4 tbsp melted butter and

65 grams powder sugar and 

150 grams peanut butter and 

1/4 tsp salt and

1/2 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla powder.

I mixed the two batters separately and then poured one tsp at a time in the cupcake tins. I got 14 large cupcakes out of this batter. However, I think I will swirl the two batters together in the same bowl next time as it was rather fiddly... 

Bake in the oven on 180 degrees for about 30 mins. 

The peanut butter, chocolate and butter make these cupcakes rather calorie rich, yes! 

but they were just what a rowing and running teenage boy burning a lot of energy desired.
