    MAKE-AHEAD Posted by: _nlfPA

    List of Ingredients




    MAKES 24 CUPCAKES
    ingredients
    3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
    1/2 cup boiling water
    1 cup buttermilk
    1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 sticks plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
    1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    2 large eggs, at room temperature
    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    1 cup creamy peanut butter
    2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
    1 cup heavy cream
    8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

    Recipe



    Preheat the oven to 350° and position 2 racks in the lower and middle third of the oven. Line 24 muffin cups with paper or foil liners.
    Put the cocoa powder in a medium heatproof bowl. Add the boiling water and whisk until a smooth paste forms. Whisk in the buttermilk until combined. In a medium bowl, sift the flour with the baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 1 1/2 sticks of the butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla, then beat in the dry ingredients in 2 batches, alternating with the cocoa mixture. Carefully spoon the cupcake batter into the lined muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the cupcakes are springy. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
