Instructions

How to make Chocolate Cupcakes

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ F.
  • Put paper liners in your cupcake pans or you can use silicone, which ever ones you prefer.
  • Then, In a small bowl whisk together the hot brewed coffee and cocoa, until dissolved and set aside.
  • Next, In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  • In a small bowl place the butter and sugars. Beat on medium-higha speed of your mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the vanilla.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the coffee-cocoa mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  • Mix each addition just until incorporated, being careful not to over mix.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared liners, filling each about two-thirds of the way full.
  • Bake about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pans briefly about 5 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

How to Make Peanut Butter Cookie Frosting

  • Mix the butter and peanut butter in a bowl and then beat on medium-high for 1 minute.
  • Turn off the mixer, add in the confectioners’ sugar and mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
  • Increase the speed to medium and mix until smooth, about 2 minutes.

How To Assemble Cupcakes

  • Allow the cupcakes to cool
  • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture and use clean, dry hands to form it into a patty.
  • Use the tines of a fork to make the classic crisscross pattern on top of the “cookie”. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter mixture so you end up with 24 “cookies”.
  • Place the cookie frosting on top of the cupcake gently pressing down so it sticks.
