Method

  1. Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4). Line a cup cake tin with 12 paper cupcake cases.

  2. Step 2:

    Place the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until light and fluffy.

  3. Step 3:

    Gradually beat in the eggs a little at a time until smooth, adding a little flour if the mixture curdles.

  4. Step 4:

    Stir in the rest of the flour and baking powder until smooth.

  5. Step 5:

    Roughly chop most of the peanuts and stir into the mixture.

  6. Step 6:

    Spoon some of the mixture into each cupcake case. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and just firm to the touch. Allow to cool completely before decorating.

  7. Step 7:

    To decorate, mix together the butter, icing sugar and cocoa powder to make the buttercream.

  8. Step 8:

    Spread the buttercream over the cupcakes, then top with the peanut butter. Decorate with peanuts for the final finishing touch.
