I love to bake and, while I may burn the bottoms of my cookies, my cakes and cupcakes always turn out fabulously moist. Although I love to make cakes, cupcakes are my favorite desserts to bake because they are much easier to both bake and decorate. And, I love coming up with different flavors.
The most recent one I made was a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cupcake, and BOY was it good! I used a cake mix for the cupcake but made my own peanut butter frosting. I seriously could not believe how easy and YUMMY that frosting was. I couldn’t stop eating it out of the bowl!
After making up the cake mix, I put a mini Reese’s peanut butter cup in the middle. Tip: freeze the peanut butter cups to prevent them from melting in the oven. This is out it looks when it comes out of the oven:
Seriously, how amazing does that look?? Chocolate and peanut butter is my favorite combination. I got the frosting recipe from All Recipes but changed it to use less sugar. It was still a little too sugary, though, so I think I will cut the amount of sugar down even more next time.
