Chocolate-Peanut Butter Layer Cupcakes Recipe
My 14 year old daughter is becoming quite the baker, i actually think she is going to outdo me in the baking department. Seriously. I am jealous.
I found this in The Pillsbury Bake Off cooking magazine. It doesn't have a cover , so i really can't tell you the date of it. The link is HERE.
They are little delights of decatant goodness, with the perfect balance of moistness and flavor. TRY THEM, i can't yell it loud enough!
