Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup peanut butter

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- Mix together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
- Combine the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk in another bowl. Stir gently until mixed.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!
- Fill each cupcake liner about halfway with the batter.
- Add a spoonful of peanut butter marshmallow fluff into the center of each cupcake.
- Cover the fluff with more batter until the liners are about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until creamy for the frosting. Add milk as needed for desired consistency.
- Frost the cooled cupcakes generously with the creamy peanut butter frosting.
