Peanut butter and jelly is a classic flavour combo, usually found in America. We call jelly jam over here, but PB and jelly has such a good ring to it! These peanut butter flavoured cupcakes are so tasty - filled with a sweet raspberry jam and topped with a creamy peanut butter frosting, you can't really go wrong!

CUSTOMISE: can use any flavour jam you like. I used smooth peanut butter to make it easier to blend for the buttercream, but you can use crunchy in the cupcakes if you prefer.
