Preheat the oven to 350 degrees . Line muffin pans with 24 cupcake wrappers.
Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed until combined.
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry.
In a measuring cup, combine the water and vinegar. With mixer still on low, add the water and stir just to combine, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared cups, then take a teaspoon of peanut butter and add this in the middle of every cupcake . Next add the rest of the mix on the top ( try on to disturb the peanut butter ) bake for 18-23 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
Cool completely on a cooling rack.
For the topping
Add to a bowl icing sugar , coco powder milk. the reason why you should a little bit of milk is you want to mixture to be really thick . After that begin to spread the chocolate icing on the cupcakes .
