1. Cupcakes:
2. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl; set aside.
3. In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together the butter and syrup. Add eggs, vanilla extract and maple flavoring and mix well.
4. Add in dry ingredients a little at a time until all incorporated. Then add milk and mix until smooth and creamy.
5. Spoon into a cupcake pan, prepared with grease or liners, and fill half full. (A 3-tablespoon ice cream scoop works perfectly.)
6. Bake 15-20 minutes or until light brown and outside edges spring back when touched. Set on a wire rack to cool.
7. Filling:
8. Blend together the cream cheese, banana curd, butter and sugar until nice and creamy, then add whipping cream and whisk on medium/high for about 2 minutes until creamy.
9. Frosting:
10. Cream together the cream cheese, peanut butter, butter and vanilla until smooth. Add the milk and continue to blend until smooth. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time until all incorporated and frosting is creamy.
11. Assembly:
12. Using an apple corer, remove the center of each cooled cupcake. Pipe in filling and frost the top of the cupcake with peanut butter frosting.
13. Eat and enjoy!
