Peanut butter chocolate chip cupcakes with chocolate icing

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup All-purpose flour
1½ teaspoon Double-acting baking powder
½ cup Firmly packed dark brown sugar
¼ cup Chunky peanut butter
3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
1 large Egg
½ teaspoon Vanilla
½ cup Milk
1¼ cup Semisweet chocolate chips
¼ cup Heavy cream

Directions

In a bowl whisk together the flour, the baking powder and a pinch of salt.

In another bowl with an electric mixer cream together the brown sugar, the peanut butter, and the butter and beat in the egg and the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, beating well after each addition, and stir in ½ cup of the chocolate chips. Divide the batter among 12 paper-lined ½-cup muffin tins and bake the cupcakes in the middle of a preheated 350 F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Turn the cupcakes out onto a rack and let them cool completely.

In another bowl combine the remaining ¾ cup chocolate chips and the cream, scalded, let the chips soften, and whisk the mixture until it is smooth. Let the icing cool completely, whisk it until it is fluffy, and spread it on the cupcakes.

Yield: 12 cupcakes
