Frosted Peanut Butter Cupcakes

So instead of going to class today I decided to stay home and make this new flavour of cupcakes.

Ingredients

4 tbsp butter, softened
Generous 1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter (I used smooth)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
About 1/2 cup milk

Frosting

About 1 cup cream cheese
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 2/3 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions

Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Put paper liners into muffin pans.

Step 2:

Place the butter, brown sugar and peanut butter in a large bowl and beat together for 1-2 minutes, or until well mixed. Gradually beat in the eegs, then add the vanilla extract. Sift in the flour and baking powder and using a metal spoon, fold into the batter with milk.

Step 3:

Spoon the batter into the paper liner. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until risen, golden and firm to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.

Note: I only baked mine for about 20 minutes.

Step 4:

To make the frosting, put the cream cheese and butter in a bowl and beat together until smooth. Sift the confectioners' sugar into the mixture and mix well.

Step 5:

Decorate as you please!
