Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook?s Note)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
5 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts, chopped
1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12 cup Bundt pan with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Beat the butter, sugar and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla until combined.
  • Alternate folding in the flour mixture and the milk into the batter with a spatula, adding the flour in three additions and the milk in two, starting and ending with the flour, until just smooth. Divide the batter evenly into two medium bowls. Fold the cocoa powder into one bowl and mix until incorporated. Fold 1/2 cup peanut butter into the second bowl and mix until incorporated.
  • Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon and drop alternating scoopfuls of the batter into the pan. Drag a long wooden skewer through the batter, making sure the skewer reaches the bottom, to marble the colors in a tie-dye effect. Bake the cake until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the center springs back when touched, about 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack and refrigerate to cool completely and chill, about 1 hour. Trim the bottom of the cake with a serrated knife so it will sit flat on a serving platter.
  • Meanwhile, microwave the chocolate and coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Microwave the remaining 1 3/4 cups peanut butter in a medium microwave safe bowl until warm and flowing, like lava, but still slightly thick, about 20 seconds.
  • Place the cooling rack with the chilled cake on it into a baking sheet. Pour the chocolate sauce over top of the cake letting it drip down the sides. Sprinkle the top with the peanuts. Let the chocolate harden, about 1 hour. Transfer the cake to a serving platter. Pour the peanut butter into the hole in the center of the cake. Cover the peanut butter completely with chocolate sprinkles. Serve immediately.

¼ cup heavy cream, (plus more as needed)
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup confectioners' sugar
10-12 mini peanut butter cups, (chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, eggs, sour cream, and buttermilk.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Add the coffee, and whisk until the batter is completely combined. Set aside.

  • Add the egg and vanilla and continue to mix until combined.
  • Add the flour and salt. Mix on low until fully incorporated.
  • Dust the bundt pan with the remaining tablespoon of cocoa powder.
  • Scrape ⅔ of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan. Using a 1½ tablespoon scoop (or a spoon), scoop the peanut butter filling in the center.

Use a spatula or wooden spoon to smooth the top, if necessary.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the cake pan for 15 minutes. Then invert the cake onto a serving plate and let it cool completely (about an hour) before adding the glaze.
  • Place heavy whipping cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 45 seconds to a minute. You want the cream to be just boiling.
  • Carefully pour chocolate morsels into cream.
  • Let sit for 5 minutes (to melt the chocolate). Whisk the chocolate and cream until shiny and smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Pour over cooled cake.
  • Place heavy whipping cream in a large microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 45 seconds to a minute. You want the cream to be just boiling.
  • Add peanut butter and let sit for a few minutes to soften the peanut butter. Add confectioners' sugar and whisk to combine. (It should be thick, but pourable.) Pour over chocolate ganache.
  • Top with chopped peanut butter cups.
  • Allow the cake to set about 10 minutes before serving.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER BUNDT CAKE



Chocolate-Peanut Butter Bundt Cake image

This cake version of a peanut butter cup boasts moist devil's food cake wrapped around a soft, peanut buttery cake core. The peanut butter cake batter will stay nicely centered if you enlist the help of a resealable plastic bag or pastry bag to pipe it into a ring in the middle of the batter, but you don't need to be so exacting. If that feels too fancy, spooning it in will yield equally delicious results. The cake is nicely sweet on its own, but take it over the top by adding peanut butter and chocolate glazes. Keep the glazes thin so that they're fluid enough not only to evenly coat the surface and run own the sides of the cake, but also so they combine and marble together to make Instagram-worthy swirls.

Time 2h30m

Yield One 10-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 26

3/4 cup/180 grams smooth peanut butter (not natural)
1/2 cup/115 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup/75 grams light or dark brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup/95 grams unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for dusting the pan
1 cup/240 milliliters boiling water
1 cup/240 milliliters cold buttermilk
1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
1/2 cup/120 milliliters neutral oil, like vegetable or canola
2 cups/400 grams granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups/385 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup/60 milliliters heavy cream, plus more as needed
1/4 cup/60 grams smooth peanut butter (not natural)
1/2 cup/60 grams confectioners' sugar
Pinch of fine sea salt
1/3 cup/80 milliliters heavy cream
1/3 cup/55 grams chopped bar semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Make the peanut butter filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the peanut butter, cream cheese and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and mix on medium speed until fully incorporated. Add the flour and salt and mix on low speed to combine. Scrape the mixture into a large resealable plastic bag (or pastry bag) and set aside. (Alternatively, you can scrape the mixture into a medium bowl.) If necessary, rinse and dry the paddle attachment and bowl before proceeding.
  • Make the cake: Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly spray a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick spray. Add a few spoonfuls of cocoa powder into the pan and tap it around until the pan is fully coated in cocoa.
  • Place 1 cup/95 grams cocoa powder in a medium heat-safe bowl, and pour the boiling water over it. Whisk well to combine, then add the buttermilk and whisk to combine.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, oil and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed until fully incorporated and scraping the bowl between each addition. Add the vanilla and mix on low speed to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to combine. Add about a third of this mixture to the mixer and mix on low speed to combine.
  • Add half of the cocoa-buttermilk mixture to the mixer and mix on low speed to combine. Continue to alternate adding the dry and wet ingredients until the batter is uniformly combined.
  • Pour about 2/3 of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Cut a 1-inch opening from one of the bottom corners of the bag and squeeze the peanut butter filling into the pan, making a ring in the center of the chocolate batter aiming not to touch the outer edge or inner tube of the pan. Alternatively, you can gently spoon the peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate batter, aiming to create a ring shape.
  • Pour the remaining chocolate cake batter on top of the peanut butter filling and gently spread into an even layer. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour or up to 1 hour 10 minutes.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use a small offset spatula to gently loosen the cake at the edges and around the inner tube, and invert it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Make the peanut butter glaze: Heat the cream in a small pot to a simmer. In a small heat-safe bowl, mix the peanut butter and confectioners' sugar to combine, then add the hot cream, and mix until smooth. It should be thick but still loose enough to drizzle easily.
  • Make the chocolate glaze: Heat the cream in the small pot to a simmer. Place the chocolate in a medium heat-safe bowl, then pour the hot cream over it. Stir until the mixture is totally smooth. It will be thinner than the peanut butter glaze.
  • Place the cake on the cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Spoon half of the chocolate glaze over the cake, letting it drip down the sides, then spoon half of the peanut butter glaze on top. Repeat this process with the remaining glaze, and use the back of the spoon to gently swirl where the two glazes meet in a few spots. Gently remove the cake and transfer to a serving platter. Allow the glaze to set at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate or bittersweet chocolate chips.
  • For a more pronounced peanut butter flavor, use chunky peanut butter.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the Bundt pan before pouring in the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate.
  • For a decadent chocolate glaze, melt chocolate chips and heavy cream together in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Drizzle the chocolate glaze over the cooled cake before serving.

Conclusion:

The Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Bundt Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is always a winner, and the Bundt pan gives the cake a beautiful presentation. With its moist texture and rich flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
