Peanut Butter & Jelly Cupcake Recipe
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 large egg yolk, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup strawberry jelly
Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting, recipe follows
Confetti pastel sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
- Start out by putting an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Next... Line a standard 12 cup muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
- Then... In the stand mixing bowl, add the butter and the sugar and beat that until it is light and fluffy. Should take around about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile... In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the sour cream to the butter and sugar mixture and continue to beat until incorporated.
- Then.. Add the eggs and yolk, 1 at a time, beating until thoroughly mixed into the batter. Add in the vanilla and continue to mix. Slowly add the dry ingredients, in increments, and mix until combined.
- After that... Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners to fill 3/4 of the way.
- Put the unbaked cupcakes in the oven and bake. Set your timer for 18 to 20 minutes.
- Ding! Timers Done... The cupcakes should be a pale gold color and a toothpick should come out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool in the tins for 5 minutes.
- Remove to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting and filling.
- Meanwhile, fit a plain pastry tip to the bottom of a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag and fill with strawberry jelly.
- Once the cupcakes are cool, insert the tip far into the cupcake and slowly squeeze in about 1 tablespoon or so of jam.
- Be careful not to overfill the cupcakes or they will crumble and explode.
- Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.
- Frost the cupcakes with the Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting recipe below using a pastry bag and a star tip.
- Sprinkle lightly with the confetti sprinkles and serve.
