Description

Peanut Butter Chocolate Bundt Cake combines rich, moist chocolate cake with a creamy, nutty peanut butter glaze, making it the ultimate indulgence for chocolate and peanut butter lovers.


Ingredients

  1. 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  3. 1/2 tsp baking soda
  4. 1/2 tsp salt
  5. 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  6. 1 cup granulated sugar
  7. 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  8. 1 cup buttermilk
  9. 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  10. 2 large eggs
  11. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  12. 1/2 cup boiling water
  13. 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  14. 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  15. 1/4 cup heavy cream
  16. 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  17. 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  18. Pinch of salt

Instructions

Prepare the Bundt pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan, or use a non-stick Bundt pan to prevent sticking.

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
  2. Combine the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Add the dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Incorporate the boiling water: Stir in the boiling water, a little at a time, until the batter is thin but smooth. This helps create a moist, tender cake.
  5. Add the chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips to the batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  6. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes, then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Make the peanut butter glaze: While the cake cools, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, heavy cream, and powdered sugar. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and melted together. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  8. Glaze the cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, pour the peanut butter glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides for a beautiful effect.
  9. Serve: Slice the cake and serve immediately. For extra indulgence, top each slice with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  1. Add chopped peanuts to the batter or on top for extra crunch.
  2. For a richer finish, use a chocolate ganache instead of the peanut butter glaze.
  3. For a vegan version, substitute non-dairy milk and a flax egg mixture. Use plant-based cream and peanut butter for the glaze.
  4. For a marbled effect, swirl some of the peanut butter glaze into the cake batter before baking.
