  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and position the rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Prepare 1 baking dish for 12 large or 24 small cupcakes with cupcake liners.
  • Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler, add the stick of butter and cocoa, and mix well.
  • In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
  • In another large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer. Add the sugar and 1 tablespoon of vanilla and continue beating. Add the chocolate mixture and the flour mixture and keep beating.
  • Add the sour cream and beat until you have a thick, homogeneous batter.
  • Divide the batter into the cupcakes so that it fills 2/3 of the liner (to prevent overflow while baking) and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • While the cupcakes are baking, make the frosting by mixing with an electric mixer the remaining butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and 3/4 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Add the whipping cream and continue beating until you have a fluffy frosting.
  • Once the cupcakes are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool. Then decorate with the frosting using a piping bag.
