Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strawberry jelly
  • Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting, recipe follows
  • Confetti pastel sprinkles, for garnish

Directions

Put an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a standard 12 cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter and sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add the sour cream to the butter and sugar mixture and continue to beat until incorporated. Add the eggs and yolk, 1 at a time, beating until thoroughly mixed into the batter. Add in the vanilla and continue to mix. Slowly add the dry ingredients, in increments, and mix until combined.

Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners to fill 3/4 of the way. Put in the oven and bake until the cupcakes are a pale gold color and a cake tester comes out clean, about for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting and filling.

Meanwhile, fit a plain pastry tip to the bottom of a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag and fill with strawberry jelly. Once the cupcakes are cool, insert the tip far into the cupcake and slowly squeeze in about 1 tablespoon or so of jam. Be careful not to overfill the cupcakes or they will crumble and explode. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes. Frost the cupcakes with the Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting using a pastry bag and a star tip. Sprinkle lightly with the confetti sprinkles and serve.

Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and butter. Beat until well combined, then add the vanilla and peanut butter and beat until well mixed. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar and beat until well incorporated.

    These cupcakes are very yummy, but as other reviewers said, they are quite dense. Definitely worth making!

    These cupcakes were amazing!! They were a little dense, but nothing a big glass of milk can't help!! The frosting was very tasty. Everyone at work loved these and requested more. Even my very picky husband didn't have one negative thing to say, which is unbelievable! Thanks for the recipe. It will be made again!

    These were certainly heavy cupcakes. Mine turned out sticky in addition to being dense. A lighter cake would have been suited better for the peanut butter and jelly part of it considering that the cream cheese frosting was also very thick and sticky. Also, wasn't a big fan of the P.B./cream cheese combo, less so of the P.B./cream cheese/sour cream combo. The one thing these cakes have going for them is that in the end, you do feel as though you ate an entire peanut butter and jelly sandwich after only a few bites, so there is no false advertising going on here.
    If you do not have a glass of milk next to you, or are not planning on straining a muscle just gulping these suckers down, I would not recommend making them.
