    The cupcakes were Taylor's creation. She wanted to create something since she missed the muffin bake-off with Megan, but she left me half way through it. They were so good and I don't even like chocolate cupcakes.

    Ingredients

    • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
    • 4 oz semisweet chocolate
    • 2 oz unsweetened chocolate
    • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 3 large eggs
    • 2 tsps pure vanilla extract
    • Peanut Butter Filling:
    • 4 Tbs unsalted butter, melted
    • 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
    • 3/4 cup peanut butter
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    • Frosting:
    • 3 cups confectioner's sugar
    • 2/3 cups cocoa powder
    • 1/2 cup butter, softened
    • 6 T milk
    • 1 tsp vanilla

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin pan with baking cups.
    2. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
    3. Put butter and chocolates in a microwave safe bowl and microwave at 30-second intervals until melted, stirring in between. Let cool.
    4. Whisk sugar into chocolate mixture. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Add flour mixture; stir just until combined.
    5. Stir together all ingredients for the peanut butter filling.
    6. Make 4 layers... 2 tablespoons of chocolate batter, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter filling, 1 tablespoon of chocolate batter, 1 teaspoon of peanut butter filling. Swirl top of cupcake batter and filling with a toothpick.
    7. Bake for 30 minutes rotating halfway through. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely before removing cupcakes.
