Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for pan
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme
  • Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat 12 standard muffin cups with cooking spray, then dust with cocoa, tapping out excess. In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Using a mixer, beat in eggs, buttermilk, oil, and 3/4 cup water on medium until smooth, about 3 minutes.

Divide batter among cups and bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes, then remove cupcakes and let cool completely on rack.

In a large bowl, using mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and peanut butter on high until fluffy, 3 minutes; fold in marshmallow topping. Transfer to a zip-top bag and cut off one corner to make a 1/2-inch opening.

With a melon baller, scoop out center of each cupcake base and set aside (these pieces will plug cupcakes after filling). Hollow out each cupcake a bit more, discarding crumbs. Fill cavities with peanut butter mixture and replace plugs. (Refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 1 week.) To serve, dust with confectioners’ sugar.

                Well, phone won't let me go below 2 stars, but - gross. Cake is oily and needs vanilla, and the marshmallow fluff is just nasty. Better to have just put a dollop of peanut butter inside. Also cupcakes collapsed unlike picture.

                Loved these! The cake is fluffy and delicious. I changed the filling to a simple cream cheese and peanut butter mixture with a bit of honey. Will definitely make again!

                Can someone PLEASE tell me why the ingredients do not save to the desktop?  Whenever I see a recipe I like I click "save" so that I can keep it in a file and go to it later when I want to make it.  EVERY time I do this, when I open it the ingredients are gone..just the recipe is there...it's maddening!  I've written to the company but no answer ever.  Anyone else have this problem?

                These look delicious - I think I'll use the leftover filling for a decorative topping, instead of the confectioner's sugar.

                This is a good cupcake recipe. It is moist, rich, and keeps well for several days when stored in an air tight container. I will use it with the cream filling as well as the peanut butter filling which my husband loved.

                These taste absolutely fabulous very close to my Chocolate-Coffee Cake, but the were flat and did not rise and looked like flat globs, any idea as to what went wrong?
