Chocolate Cinnamon Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Marshmallow Frosting


For this delicious cupcake, we use a simple, fluffy chocolate cinnamon cupcake, a super yummy peanut butter marshmallow frosting, and top it all off with a Snickers. :)

BAKEs Chocolate Cinnamon Cupcakes (adapted from The Farm Chicks chocolate cupcake recipe):
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup boiling water

Directions:
Mix together all the dry ingredients.
Add in the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla: beat until smooth
Add the water and mix
The batter will be watery so you will have to ladle the batter into your liners. Be sure to have something like a paper towel ready because it will drip everywhere.

Bake at 350* for 20-25 min. Cool in the pan 5 min, then remove and cool completely. Then frost to your hearts delight! For our Peanut butter marshmallow frosting, click here.


This recipe is one of our favorites so far. In fact a friend of ours is having a birthday on Wednesday and for his present, we're going to make him these cupcakes topped with a snickers piped with frosting so that they look like little presents. Should be cute!

Enjoy!

Peanut Butter Marshmallow Frosting

We are in love with this frosting! So yummy and light. 

BAKEs Peanut Butter Marshmallow Frosting
Ingredients:
4 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
20 oz marshmallow cream
1 cup peanut butter


Directions:
Beat butter until creamy
Add sugar 1/2 cup at a time, beat until fluffy
Beat in the vanilla
Stir in marshmallow and peanut butter

This recipe makes a lot of frosting, probably enough for 3 dozen cupcakes. Also this frosting can melt, so be sure to refrigerate after frosting if you are trying to hold its shape.

Hope you all love it too!

Simply Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies

We know many people with a Gluten allergy (including our very own Marcie), and it can be hard finding yummy recipes for them! These cookies are not only gluten-free, they're extremely simple! For this super easy recipe, you will only need 4 things, sugar, egg, peanut butter, and vanilla extract.

Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together, drop onto a nonstick cookie sheet, and bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 min.

Completely simple, right? If you feel like sprucing it up, try adding in some toppings like banana chips or even chocolate chips. We've even used Splenda for the sugar and Egg Beaters for the eggs before, and they still turned out great! We're telling you, with this recipe you just can't go wrong.

Catch you on the sweet side!
