Ch0c0late n peanut butter.


Cheesy n yummy.This is my 8th cupcakes and the 2nd for tis week.These cupcakes are also known as Thanks n goodbye cupcakes.Simply baked for my aunty and uncle and my 5 months old cousin who will b heading to JB 2nite.Well,they have been taking care 4 us(me n my bro)4 a week now.And 2moro!yeah 2moro!the day when my parents will b back.(cant wait 4 jubah from egypt).wuwu..i Even baked xtra 12 cupcakes since kak noli came this morning and she managed to grab 6(topless) cupcakes!!.haha..she juz not lucky enough to have them with cheesy n creamy frosting as she was so deeply in shopping mood.(serve u right!)To be frank,there were a lot of accidents happened while making these Thanks n goodbye cupcakes.First,i over heated the butter in d oven(it took so long to melt in room temperature).Then,i put an xtra teaspoon of baking powder(self raising flour dah habis).As a result,i had to alter almost everything else from flour to sugar to butter,to cocoa.hak3....But luckily my tounge are used to the taste of nice cupcakes that altering the ingredients quantities were not dat hard.Lastly,OMG!there were not enough peanut butter in the fridge.FYI,i juz used half of what required and compensate the peanut butter with salted butter instead of unsalted butter and added super xtra icing sugar..hehe..I thought it was going to be the worst cupcakes until my aunty took 2 cakes in one go..She said it taste better than the coffee and walnut cupcakes i had made b4.So,what else?happiness!!!!hooray!!I noe im a gud baker(at least,that wat they said 2 me)huk3...Here is the recipe and hope you people will give it a try(i know i dun hav any follower yet,but i believe one day people will appreciate what i put on this blog)Pls enjoy:
For the cupcakes
.125g butter,softened
.125g caster sugar
.2 medium eggs
.2 tbsp milk
.100g self raising flour
.3 level tbsp cocoa
For the frosting
.200g cream cheese
.60g unsalted butter,softened
.125g smooth peanut butter
.125g icing sugar
For the decoration
.36 chocolate-coated peanuts(i used chocolate chips instead)
  1. Preheat the oven to 190 c
  2. Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.Add the eggs,milk and sift over the flour and cocoa,then beat until the mixture is smooth.Divide between paper cases and bake in the centre of oven until the cakes have risen and are just firm to touch in the centre.(It will takes about 12 to 15 mins)
  3. Remove the cakes from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
  4. To make the frosting,beat the cream cheese to soften it,then add the butter and beat until smooth.Gradually beat in the icing sugar until the frosting is lioght and fluffy.
  5. Spread some frosting over each cake,and decorate with three chocolate-coated peanuts.

*If you prefer a more chunky texture then use crunchy peanut butter rather than the smooth type.Leave the cupcakes to refrigerate will make them taste like the cheesecakes u bought from your neighbourhood bakery.
