cooking information

• Yield: 24 Cupcakes
• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cooking Time: 20 minutes

all ingredients

• 1 Box Butter-Flavored Cake Mix
• 2 Cups Peanut Butter
• 1 Container Prepared Vanilla Icing
• 1 Jar Strawberry Preserves

recipe instruction

1. Prepare cupcakes according to the directions on the box. One box should yield 24 cupcakes.

2. Just before popping them into the oven to bake, place a scoop of peanut butter on top of each cup of batter. The cake will bake around the peanut butter; it will fall into the cake because peanut butter is denser than cake.

3. Mix together the icing and preserves; it will be a runny combination. Top the cupcakes just before serving them. Enjoy!

cooking tips

• Use creamy or crunchy peanut butter, whichever you prefer.
