- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, sift together 1 and 3/4 cups flour, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, 1 and 3/4 cups sugar, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add 2 eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in 1 cup boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that's okay.
- Fill each cupcake liner 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before filling.
- To make the peanut butter filling, beat 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons softened butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 1/4 cup heavy cream and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until light and fluffy.
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, use a small knife to cut out a small piece from the center of each cupcake. Fill the holes with the peanut butter filling.
- Enjoy the delicious chocolate peanut butter cupcakes with a creamy peanut butter filling!
