INGREDIENTS
CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup strong piping hot coffee Caramel sauce filling
Chopped peanuts for topping
PEANUT BUTTER BUTTERCREAM
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup icing sugar
1/4 cup peanut butter, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
Line cupcake pan with liners or spray with baking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Whisk in the kosher salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, canola oil and vanilla extract until it looks homogenous and creamy.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir together with a stiff spatula. The batter will be thick like frosting.
Pour in the piping hot coffee. The batter will look like mud pies in a muddy lake. Keep stirring until all the liquid is incorporated and it is a homogenized cake batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Place in the oven and bake for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
While your cupcakes are cooling, make your caramel sauce.
Once completely cooled, poke a hole in the center of each cupcake, keeping the piece of cupcake you removed. Fill with caramel sauce, then re-top with the piece of cupcake you removed.
Make your icing: In a large bowl, mix your butter, icing sugar, peanut butter and salt until light and fluffy. Place in a piping bag and pipe onto cooler, filled cupcakes.
Top with chopped peanuts and enjoy!
