PB&J CUPCAKES
Ingredients for Cupcakes:
1/2 cup raspberry jam
1 1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake papers. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer 1-2 minutes until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and continue beating. Stir in the flour mixture until no lumps remain. Pour a little in the bottom of the cupcake liners. Form a small well. Put a scant teaspoon of jelly in each well. Add more batter on top to cover. Do not fill cups past 2/3 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Ingredients for Icing:
1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup milk
Fresh Raspberries for garnish
Instructions:
Cream the peanut butter and butter until smooth in a mixing bowl. Gradually add the powdered sugar alternating with the milk. Blend in the vanilla extract until smooth. Frost the cooled cupcakes and top with a fresh raspberry.
Oh wow.
