Wow! These were really good! I made them for my nephew's birthday party and everyone loved them. I used 7 whole eggs plus 3 yolks. I also only used 5 cups of sugar for the frosting. This recipe ended up making 42 (quite large cupcakes and after piping the frosting on there was still a ton left, so next time I'll cut the recipe in half. But overall, these were delicious!

Delicious combo of chocolate and peanut butter. I put 1/3 less sugar into the frosting and I though that made it taste more rich instead of too sweet. I will definitely make this again, although I may use a different cake recipe because this one was very crumbly.

Ok so this was a lot of work. The cake part was dry and was no different than a box mix. I will deff use a box mix next time to cut the work in half..I found that the frosting was too sweet for my liking..my 9 year old even thought so and I only used 3 cups of the conf sugar. But overall this was deff good, the ganache and frosting is what makes this tastey!! I will make this again but use box mix instead and cut the frosting in half!! It makes a ton of frosting..

These cupcakes were delicious and reminded me of peanut butter cups. I took them to work and they were a hit. The only thing I adjusted was the measurement of the confectioner's sugar for the frosting. I made two batches of frosting. The first batch was too thick. It was very difficult to pipe the frosting, even with my largest tip. I put 4 cups instead of 6 in the second batch and the frosting came out way better...creamy and perfect.

Yummy recipe! I made bite-size cupcakes with this recipe. I cut the recipe in half to make less cupcakes. I was confused with the ounces of egg whites and egg yolks so I just used three eggs and it turned out fine. I would make these cupcakes again! :

I'm sure the recipe is correct, but this is based on my execution. The batter was very 'wet', you could call it pourable (if that's a word. It was much different than a box recipe.I think I left them in the oven a little too long thinking they would need a little longer to firm up. Therefore, the first batch was a bit dry, but not lost. This recipe made a lot of cupcakes - more like 36 - and they were normal sized cupcakes. They were not too sweet and the family loved them! The frosting was wonderful, too! I actually cut the recipe for the frosting in half because I didn't want to waste my ingredients thinking I totally screwed up the cupcakes. I still had enough to frost all the cupcakes. I have the pleasure of living near Sugar Bakery. Their cupcakes are absolutely incredible. These cupcakes did not have the same texture and consistency of the bakery's cupcakes, but I guess every good chef has to hold on to one secret! ; Making this recipe is well worth your time!

These cupcakes were a huge hit! I did make my cupcakes a little bigger than usual so I would highly agree that 2/3 is enough for the batter. Also, I actually ended up running out of frosting and shorted four cupcakes so I guess because I had bigger cupcakes I should have used less frosting on them. I also had trouble figuring out the egg deal. I had no idea how many ounces for the yolk and egg whites so I went online to figure it out. I had a scale but of course I needed to put it all in so I had to weigh the bowl first and then add that weight to the weight of the yolks and egg whites. I used three egg whites because I read that one egg white equaled 1 ounce. Then it said one egg yolk equaled 1/2 an ounce so for 5 ounces I think I used 6-7 egg yolks. All in all it came out just fine. Just wish they could say it in plain english next time.

Overall they came out DELISH!!!! Would totally make these again!

Delicious! I cut the icing recipe in half and had more than enough for all the cupcakes!

The cake part was fabulous. I had a little trouble with the peanut butter frosting, but I realize that it was my mistake (I can't blame the recipe!. My boyfriend loved these!
