Best Cupcakes Ever
I made the yummiest cupcakes this weekend. Elvis-inspired chocolate cupcakes, with peanut butter and banana buttercream frosting, topped with a mini Elvis Reese’s peanut butter cup. I also baked a cup into the bottom of the cake. HEAVEN. I’m calling them “Hunka-Hunka Cupcake Love.”

but but but….no recipe?!?!?!

No recipe, really. I made it up. The cake is just a regular chocolate cupcake recipe. I use Martha Stewart’s “one bowl chocolate cupcakes.” After you put the batter in the cups, drop in the piece of candy. Bake normally. The frosting is a stick of butter (although in retrospect I probably would have used 1/2 stick or less), a cup of peanut butter, 3 pureed bananas, a splash of milk, and confectioner’s sugar (about 4 cups). The frosting took a lot of playing with, as the consistency was gloppy. So I can’t really give exact instructions.

I would love to make these for my Elvis fanatical friend! Regardless, I hope those elvis PB cups come to Canada.

I had the pleasure of devouring one of these, and yes, they are as good as they look. Better, in fact. My hubby’s eyes rolled right up into his skull when he bit into his.
