Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcakes are a delightful dessert combining classic flavors of peanut butter and raspberry jelly in a moist cupcake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2¾ cups cake flour spooned and leveled
  • 1⅔ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 large egg whites room temperature
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 16 ounces seedless raspberry jam
  • 1½ cups unsalted butter softened (for frosting)
  • 1½ cups creamy peanut butter not all-natural
  • 5 cups powdered sugar
  • 7 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • ½ cup finely chopped peanuts (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. Sift cake flour into a stand mixer bowl, add sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix at low speed for 30 seconds.
  3. Add softened butter and mix at medium speed until sandy texture, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Beat in egg whites one at a time, mixing after each addition, followed by whole eggs one at a time, mixing for 1 minute.
  5. Slowly add whole milk and vanilla extract, mixing for an additional 30 seconds.
  6. Fill cupcake liners with batter using a medium cookie scoop and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool.
  7. Stir raspberry jam until smooth for filling.
  8. For frosting, cream together butter and peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, alternating until combined.
  9. Add vanilla extract to frosting, then whip on high for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
  10. Core out the center of cooled cupcakes, add a teaspoon of raspberry jam to each, top with peanut butter frosting, drizzle with jam, and garnish with chopped peanuts.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for the frosting, not the natural kind.
  • Adjust baking time if using different sized cupcake pans.
