What's both delicious and life-saving? Getting involved in National Cupcake Day to help the BC SPCA and humane societies
National Cupcake Day is a cross-country fundraiser to raise money for abused, abandoned and neglected animals in our communities. All you have to do is bake cupcakes and give them away in exchange for a donation. And while Cupcake Day is still a few weeks away, it’s not too early to start your fundraising. Not a big baker? No worries, you can donate to someone who is participating or directly via the website.
After years of baking, I’m always looking for some new Cupcake Day inspiration. When I heard about these Peanut Butter and Jelly cupcakes, I was sold. (They count as breakfast, right?)
We’re sharing this recipe from Butter’s Rosie Daykin, who is a long-time supporter of National Cupcake Day.
On February 26th, I hope you’ll join us in baking the world a better place!
¾ cup butter, room temperature
¼ cup smooth peanut butter
You will need: Two muffin pans lined with paper liners; a large ice cream scoop; a small offset spatula or 14-inch piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Makes: 18 cupcakes
Makes: 4 cups, enough for one (7-inch) cake or 18 cupcakes
