• Cut off the domed top of the cake if one has formed, and save for another use (or eat!). Cut the cake horizontally into 3 layers and put them on a work surface Use a paring knife to cut out a 3 1/2-inch hole from the middle layer; set the cake layer aside (save the cutout for another use).
• Stack the bottom and middle cake layers on the prepared cooling rack. Fill the hole in the center with the peanut butter filling. Place the last cake layer on top. Invert the cake onto a plate and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Pour some of the hardening chocolate sauce over the top of the cake and use a rubber spatula to gently smooth and level it. Using a silicone brush, apply more of the chocolate sauce on the sides of the cake. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto a serving platter. Spread the remaining chocolate sauce on top of the cake in an even layer and chill in the refrigerator until set.

Steps:

• Make the Devil's Food cake: Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Generously coat a 12-slot muffin tin with nonstick vegetable spray. Into a large bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together, three times. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together at high speed for 15 seconds, until combined. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until each is incorporated. Continue beating until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes more. With the mixer on its lowest setting, beat in a third of the flour mixture. Beat in the buttermilk and vanilla, then another third of the flour. Beat in the coffee and then the remaining flour. Fill the cups of the muffin tin 2/3 full and bake 15 minutes, or until the centers spring back when lightly pressed and a cake tester comes out clean. Set the pan on a rack to cool.
• For the Peanut Butter Buttercream Filling: Beat the butter and peanut butter in a mixing bowl until blended. Reduce the speed to low and gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar. Increase the speed to high and beat for 3 to 5 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Scrape the Peanut Butter filling into a pastry back fitted with 1/4-inch plain tip. With a small knife, carefully carve a 1-inch round by 1-inch deep plug out of the bottom of cupcakes, you're going to need the plug to refill the hole, so don't chuck it out. Fill with peanut butter cream. Cut a 1/4-inch disk off the cake plug and cover the exposed cream.
• For the Ganache Frosting: Put the chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, bring the cream just to the simmering point. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and, working from the center out, gently stir with a whisk to melt the chocolate and blend until smooth.
• Dunk the cupcakes into the frosting to coat, then place on a rack, frosted side up. Transfer to the refrigerator for up to 20 minutes to set before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition., Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely., For frosting, in a small bowl, cream peanut butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in honey and vanilla. Beat in enough milk to reach a spreading consistency. Frost cupcakes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Add buttermilk, 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon oil, and warm water; whisk to combine.
• Add eggs, one at a time, then 1 teaspoon vanilla, whisking until smooth. Divide batter evenly among prepared cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake, rotating tin halfway through, until tops spring back when lightly touched and a tester comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Transfer tin to a wire rack; let cool 10 minutes. Turn out cupcakes onto rack; let cool completely.
• Divide buttercream in half. Stir peanut butter and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt into one half, and place in a pastry bag with no tip. Stir remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla into other half, and place in another pastry bag with no tip. Fit a third pastry bag with a large round tip, about 1/2-inch diameter. Snip ends off both bags of buttercream; insert them in pastry bag with tip. Squeeze gently until both buttercreams come out evenly. Pipe a swirl of buttercreams onto each cupcake, about 2 inches high. Refrigerate at least 25 minutes.
• In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pan of simmering water, melt chocolate with remaining 3 tablespoons oil, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Transfer to a tall, wide container, such as a quart takeout container, and let cool completely. (Glaze should be smooth but not warm.)
• Gently dip cupcakes into glaze to coat tops completely, holding above container to allow excess glaze to drip off. Return cupcakes to refrigerator to set, about 10 minutes, before serving. Finished cupcakes can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat 12 standard muffin cups with cooking spray, then dust with cocoa, tapping out excess. In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Using a mixer, beat in eggs, buttermilk, oil, and 3/4 cup water on medium until smooth, about 3 minutes.
• Divide batter among cups and bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes, then remove cupcakes and let cool completely on rack.
• In a large bowl, using mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and peanut butter on high until fluffy, 3 minutes; fold in marshmallow topping. Transfer to a zip-top bag and cut off one corner to make a 1/2-inch opening.
• With a melon baller, scoop out center of each cupcake base and set aside (these pieces will plug cupcakes after filling). Hollow out each cupcake a bit more, discarding crumbs. Fill cavities with peanut butter mixture and replace plugs. (Refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 1 week.) To serve, dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Make cupcakes: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
• With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to low. Beat in peanut butter until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture, and mix until just combined. Beat in sour cream.
• Fill each lined cup with 3 scant tablespoons batter. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until pale golden and a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 13 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool completely before removing cupcakes.
• Make frosting: With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and butter until pale and fluffy. Stir in peanut butter by hand.
• To finish, use an offset spatula to spread 1 to 2 tablespoons frosting onto each cupcake. Refrigerate until frosting is firm, about 10 minutes. Score each top in a crosshatch pattern with the tines of a fork, dipping tines in confectioners' sugar each time to prevent sticking. Cupcakes can be refrigerated up to 2 days in airtight containers; bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• VANILLA CUPCAKES:
• Follow the directions on the box.
• Let cool in fridge while making the peanut butter filling.
• PEANUT BUTTER FILLING:.
• In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, the softened butter, and the vanilla.
• Mix on medium (if you don't have a mixer, just go ahead and use a fork, not spoon!) until smooth.
• Slowly beat in the powdered sugar while mixing.
• Using a wooden spoon, scrape in any of the pwodered sugar that remained on side of bowl.
• The mix may not be fully mixed together, so stick your hands in it and knead the mix until very smooth and doughy.
• NOTE: If the mix is still a little too sticky, or isn't doughy enough to roll out, gradually add in a little bit of powdered sugar while kneading with hands.
• FROSTING FOR CUPCAKES:
• No need to tell you how to make the frosting if you did buy the kind in the plastic container! But I will tell you that if you use a wilton metal frosting spatula, it makes your frosting skills look a lot better, and it's more fun!
• HOW TO FILL THE CUPCAKES:.
• Cut the top off of the cupcake and set aside.
• Roll out about one fourth of the peanut butter mix.
• Take the top of the cupcake and place on top of any area on the rolled out peanut butter dough.
• Take a knife, and trace the amount of filling you will need to fit the top of that cupcake.
• Cut it out, and place on top of cut cupcake.
• Then place the cupcake top back on cupcake.
• Frost, if desired.
