It's all about balance, right? This is what I like to make when I'm needing a chocolate fix!
Can you say delicious? It is also incredibly easy!
Ok, so I cheat and use a box mix cake. There are plenty of things you can do to spruce up a cake mix. I replace the liquid with strong coffee when I'm making a chocolate cake. I also use Wildtree organic coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.
The coffee brings out the chocolate flavor, and the coconut oil makes the cake moist and fluffy. I simply follow the rest of the directions on the box and make my cupcakes.
For the peanut butter filling and icing I combined one 8 ounce cream cheese, one and one fourth cup confectioners sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter.
Once the cupcakes have cooled I use an apple corer or you can use a knife and I cut the center out of the Cupcake. Depending on how much filling you want is how big you make the hole.
In a bowl I put crushed peanuts and chocolate sprinkles. Fill your cupcake with the peanut butter mixture. You can pipe it in in a pastry bag, or just use a knife like I do. Pipe or spread the mixture over the top. Again this depends on how much peanut butter to chocolate you want in your cupcake.
Once this is complete simply roll your cupcakes in the bowl of peanuts and sprinkles. For those of us that lack the patience for proper piping skills this gives you a professional looking cupcake without the skills!
Trust me people will rave about these cupcakes. They will swear you bought them from your favorite bakery they are that good!
