add the eggs a little at a time,

beating well after each addition.

Mix in vanilla.

Reduce speed to low

then add the flour mixture in three portions

alternating with the milk beginning and ending with flour.

Bake at 325 for 25 minutes made 34 cupcakes

I removed a small portion of the cupcake with a cupcake frosting tip so there is space for the filling

Peanut Butter Frosting

3/4 cup butter

1/4 cup peanut butter

4 cups powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

Beat butter and peanut butter then add powdered sugar and milk and mix until smooth

These bites of heaven get a swirl of Strawberry Frosting

Strawberry Frosting

1 1/2 cups butter

1/2 cup strawberry jelly

6 cups powdered sugar

5 tablespoons milk

Beat butter then add sugar and milk finally add strawberry jelly

Jelly makes the frosting soft if you prefer the frosting to stay firm add strawberry flavoring instead.
I loved that the frosting was softer than typical frosting 🙂

Top off the cupcakes with chopped peanuts.
