Last year, it was Oreo cheesecake cookies, and now…this!
(OK, to be fair, I did inhale a wedge of key lime pie last night. It was one of those two-in-one belated Pi Day/early St. Patrick’s Day dealies. Even so…)
I think I’m going to call these “Favourite Daughter Cupcakes” because I’ve managed to cram my dad’s favourite things into one convenient package.
If you’re a regular reader, you probably know which cookbook – and likely which recipe, too – I used for the cake. If you’re an irregular reader (wait…what?), check out some of the other cupcake posts. Therein lies the secret.
To summarize: chocolate cupcake, cored and filled with peanut butter buttercream, covered with a rich chocolate ganache that’s been spiked with peanut butter, and topped with a swirl of the filling. Favourite daughter, indeed!
These are blissfully chocolate-peanut buttery, and can almost make me forget that there are fat snowflakes falling from the sky as I type.
Lousy Smarch weather…..
