Harlow Cakes!!


Named for a friend because I promised I would invent something just for him:) 

After a few hours of work and making a mess of the entire kitchen, I proudly present Harlow Cakes!!! Chocolate Cupcakes with a Peanut Butter Cake center, topped with Nutella Frosting and Rainbow Sprinkles. From Scratch, I don't do the box cake too very often anymore...they just don't taste right. IDK which part of these are my favorite but they are sooooo goooood!!! I'm not going to give you the specific recipe because its ridiculously long but here's the gist of it:

Find a peanut butter cake recipe you like and bake it. then find a peanut butter frosting recipe you like and make it. after baking and cooling your cake, crumble it all up into a bowl. start adding peanut butter frosting to your crumbs until a soft dough has formed that you can shape into balls. Prepare a chocolate cake batter. line your cupcake tin. drop a spoonfull of chocolate batter into the bottom of each liner. place a peanut butter cake ball into the center then fill with more chocolate cake batter until about 3/4 full. bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
I didn't use a recipe for the frosting, I simply creamed together 2 sticks of unsalted butter and 1 cup of Nutella then added confectioners sugar and a bit of milk until I reached the right consistency.
Pipe on your frosting and add sprinkles if desired.
