Reddit reviews 500 Cupcakes: The Only Cupcake Compendium You'll Ever Need (500 Cooking (Sellers))

Fluffy banana cupakes (recipe from this book here) with fresh strawberry, whipped cream, and blueberry garnish.

Here's the recipe, from this book. I modified it by adding chocolate pudding to each cake after they had cooled.

Peanut Butter Cupcakes:

1 Cup (2 sticks) sweet butter, softened. (I used margarine)
1 Cup granulated sugar
2 Cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
4 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 Cup peanut butter (you can use crunchy or smooth)

Preheat oven to 350. Place 18 paper baking cups in muffin pans. Combine the butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, and buttermilk in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Stir the peanut butter in until well combined. Spoon the batter into the cups. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes. Remove pans from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Then remove cupcakes and cool on wire rack.

Frosting:

1/2 Cup peanut butter
1/2 Cup (1 stick) sweet butter, softened.
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp. milk

Combine peanut butter, butter, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar along with the milk, and beat until well combined. Swirl the frosting onto cooled cupcakes
