The first time I ever had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich was
when I was 30 years old. My mother didn’t feed it to me. She didn’t like
it, so it was something she didn’t serve me. She would send my sister off with
it as well as my dad and my dad ate it so....so did she. I did eventually acquire the taste and wanted
to incorporate my love of cake with a new love. The peanut butter and jelly
cupcake. I used strawberry jam, but you can use any type of jelly or jam if you
want.
Ingredients:
1 box of yellow cake mix
1 jar of strawberry preservers
1 cup of peanut butter
1 container of white frosting
Directions:
Make
batter as indicated on box and pour into cupcake tins with no paper. Do
this because you will need to slice the cupcake in half and there is no
reason to have to pull the paper off first. After the cupcakes are
cooled through, empty the white frosting into a medium sized bowl and
add in the peanut butter. With a blender mix the 2 together well. Slice
the cupcakes in half making it a sandwich. Take the jelly or jam and
spread on to the bottom portion of the cupcake. Take the other half of
the cupcake and put it back. Frost the top of the cupcake with the
peanut butter frosting and top with a dollop of the strawberry
preserves. You will knock the socks off your kids and the adults too!
