Peanut Butter Cupcakes With Chocolate Fudge Frosting
- FOR THE CUPCAKES:
- 1 whole Egg White
- 2 Tablespoons White Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Flavored Greek Yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/4 teaspoons (heaping) Baking Powder
- 1/4 cups Cake Flour
- 1-1/2 Tablespoon Milk
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- 1/2 cups Plus 3 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar, Divided
- 1/4 cups Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
- 1/4 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 pinch Kosher Salt
- 2 teaspoons Dark Cocoa Powder
- 2 ounces, weight Bittersweet Chocolate, Melted
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a cupcake tin with 3 paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together egg white and sugar until thoroughly combined. Whisk in melted butter, vanilla, yogurt, and peanut butter.
- Whisk in baking powder. Then gently whisk in flour until just combined. Stir in milk.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 3 prepared liners. They should each be about 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, until the cupcake springs back when lightly pressed in the center.
- Remove pan from the oven. Cool cupcakes in the pan for 2 minutes, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- When the cupcakes are cool, make the frosting.
- In a medium-sized bowl beat together 1/2 cup powdered sugar and butter until fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, salt, cocoa powder and melted chocolate until thoroughly combined. Add in the remaining powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting has reached the desired consistency. Pipe or spread frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
- Cupcake portion inspired by How Sweet Eat's Vanilla Cupcakes for Two, and the frosting is an A Bitchin' Kitchen original.
