We all love bananas with peanut butter. However, when they are combine in a cupcake is simply fantastic. Recently, I was looking at my banana cupcake recipe and my daughters Neshy and Suzy recipes and decided to do a test to make the cupcakes texture more cake-like. Therefore, I used cake flour instead of all-purpose flour for a soft texture. I used peanut oil instead of butter for a super moist cupcake. Finally, I added Banana Liquor instead of vanilla. (After all, vanilla is 35% (70 proof) alcohol. I researched it, and this amount is 5 times an average beer and over twice what most wines have. (But most, if not all of the alcohol is gone once you cook it.) My peanut butter banana cupcakes came out moist and delicious. The texture was soft and you could feel the banana chunks. My perfect peanut butter and banana combination cupcakes. Then, I gave them to people that I love. Boom!
