Preparation

Medium

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.
