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.

  3. The danger for me (as with any baking) is that I'd eat more than the kids! You really must have amazing self-control ;o) Out of curiosity, how is the room coming ... I'm DYING to see pictures of the final product! Have a great weekend!

    Hvis du gar til Google translate og legger inn bloggadressen min http://www.mittengelskehjorne.blogspot.com og velger oversett fra engelsk til norsk sa oversettes siden for deg! Genialt, nesten. Du vil se at oversettelsen ikke er helt god, men god nok. 'Pulversukker' er selvsagt melis... Og det er lite 'virvling' av deigen. Egentlig kanskje morsom lesing innimellom, hehehe. Si fra om du fortsatt har problemer med oversettelsen!

    You should know better when it comes to my self control, I won't comment any further on this, hehehe.

    The floor has ARRIVED, but I am now waiting for the carpenters to put it down. Monday is the next promised date... In the meantime I have only painted the skirting boards and they are not much to show ;-)))
