FOR THE CUPCAKES:
1 whole Egg White
2 Tablespoons White Sugar
2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Flavored Greek Yogurt
2 Tablespoons Creamy Peanut Butter
1/4 teaspoons (heaping) Baking Powder
1/4 cups Cake Flour

1
Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a cupcake tin with 3 paper liners.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together egg white and sugar until thoroughly combined. Whisk in melted butter, vanilla, yogurt, and peanut butter.
3
Whisk in baking powder. Then gently whisk in flour until just combined. Stir in milk.
4
Divide the batter evenly among the 3 prepared liners. They should each be about 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, until the cupcake springs back when lightly pressed in the center.
5
Remove pan from the oven. Cool cupcakes in the pan for 2 minutes, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
6
When the cupcakes are cool, make the frosting.
7
In a medium-sized bowl beat together 1/2 cup powdered sugar and butter until fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, salt, cocoa powder and melted chocolate until thoroughly combined. Add in the remaining powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting has reached the desired consistency. Pipe or spread frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
8
Cupcake portion inspired by How Sweet Eat's Vanilla Cupcakes for Two, and the frosting is an A Bitchin' Kitchen original.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
