Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 3 cups sifted self rising flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Peanut butter Icing:
- 1 (16-ounce) container chocolate icing
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease and flour cupcake cups and place them in muffin tins. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter until fluffy. Add the sugar and continue to cream for approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour and milk, alternating, into the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Add the vanilla and continue to beat until well mixed. Divide the batter equally among the cupcake papers. Level the batter by dropping muffin pan on counter top to release the air bubbles. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until done. Cool in pan for 5 to 10 minutes.
Using a small bowl, combine the chocolate frosting and the peanut butter and blend well. When cupcakes have cooled, frost the tops with the peanut butter icing.

Before I began searching my kitchen for these ingredients, I looked at the ratings and reviews to see if this recipe was worth my time, and then I decided I would give it a try. I like most of you took the adivce of others and opted to add peanut butter cups to a select cake batter. I did this so I was able to taste with and without my own added flavor. I must say I agree 100% by adding this peanut butter cups it added extreme flavor that was missing! This recipe (with the peanut butter cups added was a hit in my house, I even think it taste like the peanut butter cups. Although it was a little heavy I fell that after I've made it a few times these issues will fade away.

I followed the recipe and it had no flavor whatsoever. I made my own peanut butter icing and my icing tasted WAAAYYYY better. No one liked my cupcakes and my cupcakes were the only dessert there. My party was a wreck, and I wasted the last of my ingredients. Thanks a lot, Paula. All of "ya'll" should never use this recipe.
