Preparation

Step 1

For cupcakes:

In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream and oil together. Whisk with an electric mixer, add water little at a time. Continue to whisk on medium speed about 5 minutes until fluffy. Fold in peanut butter chips.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 24 cupcake liners in muffin pans and lightly spray with no-stick cooking oil. Fill each muffin cup with batter 1/2-3/4 full. ( I use the extra batter to make some mini cupcakes with mini muffin pan).
Bake for 18 minutes. Cool.

For peanut butter cream topping:

Whisk all topping ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl with an electric mixer until well blend and cream. Pipe on cooled cupcakes, dust with coco powder and decorate with a drop of jelly/jam.
