Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease and flour cupcake cups and place them in muffin tins. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter until fluffy.
Add the sugar and continue to cream for approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the flour and milk, alternating, into the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the flour.
Add the vanilla and continue to beat until well mixed. Divide the batter equally among the cupcake papers. Level the batter by dropping muffin pan on counter top to release the air bubbles.
Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until done. Cool in pan for 5 to 10 minutes.
Using a small bowl, combine the chocolate frosting and the peanut butter and blend well. When cupcakes have cooled, frost the tops with the peanut butter icing.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti
Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti are my top picks for Cupcakes. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.
NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
