Chocolate Cupcake (or Brownie?) with Peanut Butter Frosting




These cupcakes were made as a favor for a friend. It's chocolate cupcakes but somehow the texture was not like a cake. More like a brownie cupcake! It was pretty dense and feels heavy. Didn't know why but supposedly after talking to some people that bakes, they said that chocolate cakes/cupcakes are usually heavy and dense. It didn't rise as much as I thought it would be but some say it's because the recipe was missing "baking soda"??? Maybe that is the case. It was pretty weird too that in the oven it was all nice and puffy with a dome....but after the cooling period, it just deflated! Oh well, need to work on this chocolate cupcakes more and find out what's going on!

As for the frosting, it was yummy! Creamy and fluffy with a hint of peanut butter! Can't complain much on that frosting tho. I think I'm pretty confident with my frosting mixtures nowadays. At least less trouble then my cupcakes...hahahah. Overall, this was a good trial on a last minute request. Hopefully the people eating them will appreciate it as well!
