  3. Cream the softened butter together with the sugar
  4. Add the egg and beat until combined.
  5. Add half of the dry ingredients to the butter, egg and sugar mix and beat well, carefully pour in half of the milk and mix again. Add the remaining dry mix, and beat together and finally mix in the last of the milk, until you have a SMOOTH cake batter.
  6. Spoon the cake mixture into the cupcake cases filling them all to 2/3rds full.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes, and leave to cool.
  8. Once your cakes have cooled, remove a spoonful of cake top from the top of the cupcake and fill the middle with SUN-PAT SMOOTH, then top with peanut butter icing.

For the Icing

  1. Soften icing sugar and softened butter. Once well mixed, add the SUN-PAT SMOOTH and whip until light and fluffy, adding a tablespoon of milk once the peanut butter has been fully incorporated to create a smooth, fluffy frosting.
  2. Spoon, or pipe onto the cupcake and decorate with a few chocolate-covered peanuts.
