Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
Chocolate and peanut butter go together so well! However, recently, I have not been loving my normal chocolate cupcake recipe. So I started experimenting- I wanted a really moist cupcake- and I got it! Here it is, my new favorite: chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting.
Usually, my favorite part of a cupcake is the frosting, but with this new recipe, the cake itself rivals the frosting! You will never guess my secret ingredient is- Hellmann’s Organic Mayonnaise! It gives the cake the perfect texture and add a richness to the cake.
Ingredients
Cupcakes
3 eggs, room temperature
11/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar, white granulated
21/4 cups flour, all-purpose
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
11/4 cups Hellmann's Organic Mayonnaise
1/3 cup brewed coffee
1 cup hot water
Peanut Butter Frosting
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup Peanut Butter
3 tablespoons milk, or as needed
2 - 21/2 cups Powdered Sugar
Instructions
Cupcakes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and add cupcake liners to pans
In a large bowl, combine eggs and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5-8 minutes
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt
Gradually add dry mixture to egg mixture, alternating with mayonnaise
Carefully add hot water and coffee, stir in by hand until well blended
Divide into liners
Note - this recipe makes a lot, I got 24 regular size cupcakes + 24 minis
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
Cool completely
Frosting
Cream butter and Peanut Butter until fluffy.
Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with a little milk at a time.
Beat well, until desired consistency.
Frost cupcakes and garnish if desired
