Peanut Butter & Jelly Cupcakes

This sweet jelly-filled cupcake topped with creamy peanut butter frosting is the ultimate way to experience PB&J.

Ingredients

cupcakes:

  • white cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 jar of Smucker’s® Natural Red Raspberry Fruit Spread

peanut butter buttercream frosting:

  • 1 stick of butter ½ cup
  • 1 cup Jif Peanut Butter
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • cup milk

Instructions 

  • Make cupcakes according to the box instructions. Let cool.
  • Use a round 1 – 1.5 inch cutter halfway down the middle of each cupcake and remove the center (making sure not to cut down all the way to the bottom). Fill each hole with jelly of choice.
  • Make buttercream frosting by creaming the peanut butter and butter together using an electric mixer until well-blended. Add milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar, a little bit at a time, until blended, then beat on high speed until frosting is fluffy.
