Peanut Butter Cupcakes with Milk Chocolate Ganache

I decided to cook through my cupcake cookbooks! The first recipe I chose is from my book

called Cupcakes! By Elinor Klivans. They sounded so delicious! And guess what... they are!

I was surprised by how much batter the recipe said to put in each baking cup! 1/4 cup of batter!

That's a lot more than I usually use for each cupcake. But... they didn't raise as much as I thought

they would, so it's a good thing I followed the recipe. Haha.

Next time I am going to use more butter and less peanut butter. The cupcakes were really dense

and the peanut butter was overwhelming! I'd like more of the chocolate flavor to show through.

I had to have some milk with it... they are really rich!
