Peanut Butter-Filled Chocolate Cupcake

I had the pleasure of my beautiful neice Celine taking over the reigns for this cupcake. The steps to this recipe were short and simple and peanut butter usually conjures pleasant childhood memories but the taste was a memory to be forgotten. Could it be that I was too cheap to purchase 2 oz. of unsweetened chocolate and instead just used all 6 oz. of semisweet chocolate?

Prepared Peanut-Butter filling first, whisked all dry ingredients, then added to chocolate mixture. Used my reliable ice cream scoop to spoon 2 tablespoons of chocolate batter into cupcake liner, followed by 1 tablespoon of peanut butter filling. Make sure to swirl top of cupcake to achieve the marble look.
Instead of a homemade taste, this cupcake tasted like something from Costco. Unimpressive. Celine, on the other hand is a natural in the kitchen!
