So my favorite sammich in the world is peanut butter and jam. And I was just talking to him about this last night so today morning I was bored and needed something to do and needed to make him something bake-y cause IT'S HIS BIRTHDAY TOMORROW! WOHOOOO. AND I bought peanut butter just yesterday, so purchase excitement was still there. Thus, these were born :)
Jam filled cupcakes with peanut butter frosting :)

Okay so I looked this up online and there wasn't any recipe that I liked. So I decided to combine 2 different recipes.
These are plain white cake cupcakes.
I followed this recipe to the T and got amazing results. I halved the proportions though, to make a batch of 6.
The peanut butter frosting is also fairly simple.
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp cream cheese
blend this until you're happy with the consistency. i blended for about 6 minutes.
Now coming to the jam filling.
After you're done with the cupcakes, you take them out and let them cool. Once they're cool, take a knife and make a whole in the center of the cupcake. Now pull the top of the hole out. With the back end of a spoon, scoop out how much ever you want. Fill this hole or whatever you want to call it with jam and then take the cupcake bits that you scooped out to cover the hole. Okay man I have used the word hole too many times.
Then ice the cupcake. I tried piping. Failed miserably, so maybe next time. So I just used a spoon and spread icing on top of the cupcake and sprinkled it with sprinkles and voilaaaa.
And hopefully tomorrow, I'm going to put a candle on one of these and sing happy birthday to the hottest person in the room. And maybe put a little frosting on his face. ;)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SQUIGGLES I LOVE YOU.
