Love love love them!!! You can't really taste the coffee, but it just heightens the chocolate flavor. These cupcakes are not those light little things that you make from a box. They offer a decadent flavor in every bite. And the frosting with the peanuts is so complimentary. This is the first dessert that my daughter every made and it's become her signature dessert. We just can't get enough of them!!

I didn't like the actual cupcake the first time I made them, but ADORED the frosting! So next time, I just made a box of devil food cupcakes and made the peanut butter frosting. They were absolutely amazing! I get asked for this frosting recipe every time I make it- it's that good. It's so sinful that when I am done frosting the cupcakes, I have to throw the bowl in the sink and fill it with soapy water right away to keep me from scraping the bowl clean and eating it myself.

I made these last night and they were fantastic! I followed the tips of using room temperature ingredients and not over mixing and they turned out perfectly light and delicate. I did reduce the white sugar and it turned out sweet enough for us. This will be my go-to chocolate cupcake recipe!

The cupcakes were great, not overpowering chocolate but delicatley sweet. The icing was great too. I sprinkled chocolate chips on top instead of nuts and they were a hit.

Balanced flavors between the chocolate cupcake and peanut butter frosting! Loved how moist the cupcake was! Didn't follow the recipe exactly. Did not have buttermilk so made my own with milk and vinegar and did not have sour cream but had coconut cream so used that instead. The recipe still worked out. Thank you Ina!
