Best 3 Peanut Butter N Jelly Cake Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter a 10-cup bundt pan. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda together onto a piece of parchment or into a large bowl.
• Beat the brown sugar, butter and peanut butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and creamy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the side of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low, and add the flour mixture in 3 additions and the milk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just combined.
• Pour half the batter into the prepared pan, then spoon the jelly in the center of the batter. Top with the remaining batter, and smooth out into an even layer. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
• For the glaze: Beat the butter, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Spoon the glaze onto the cake, and spread to cover the top.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray three 8-inch or four 6-inch pans with nonstick spray, line the bottoms with parchment paper and spray again. Set aside.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together the butter and peanut butter until creamy. Add in the sugar and mix on medium for about 3 minutes.
• Decrease the speed to low and add in the vanilla and eggs, one at a time. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
• With the mixer on low, add in half of the flour mixture, then stream in the buttermilk and mix until incorporated. Add in the remaining flour and mix until combined.
• Evenly divide the batter between the cake pans and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before removing the cakes from their pans.
• In the bowl of electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and peanut butter. Beat on medium-high speed until smooth, about 45 seconds.
• Add the powdered sugar to the bowl and mix in, slowly at first until incorporated, then increasing the mixer speed to high. Blend in the vanilla extract, salt and heavy whipping cream, and continue to whip on high speed until very fluffy, about 4-5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• To remove air bubbles from the frosting, use a wooden spoon to stir and push out the air bubbles.
• Place your first layer on the cake board. Spread about 1/2 cup of peanut butter frosting on the cake and then pipe a border of the peanut butter frosting around the edge to create a wall for the jam. Fill the center with about 1/2 cup strawberry jam and carefully spread it around. Don't add too much jam or the cake will be unstable as you continue to stack and frost.
• Place the second layer of cake on top of the first layer and repeat step one.
• Place the third layer of cake, bottom side up, on the second layer and spread a thin layer of frosting around the entire cake to create a crumb coat. Freeze the cake for 10 to 15 to set the crumb coat.
• After the crumb coat is set, continue to frost the cake with the remaining frosting.
• If you use a cake board on top of the cake like I did in my video above, you'll want to freeze the cake again for another 20 to 30 minutes after you've frosted the sides and before you take the cake board off the top. This will ensure you get sharp edges when you cut it off with a knife. You'll then add frosting to the top of the cake after you've removed the cake board.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8-inch square baking pans with baking spray. Line the bottom of each pan with a square piece of parchment paper. Spray parchment with baking spray, then flour each parchment-lined pan, shaking away any excess flour.
• Whisk cake flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Combine sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture, alternately with the milk, with the mixer running on low speed, beginning and ending with the flour.
• Beat egg whites in a clean mixing bowl at medium speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into the batter. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes tests clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cakes in the pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn cakes out onto the wire rack. Remove parchment paper and cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Working on one at a time, transfer cakes to a large cutting board or work surface. Trim the golden brown, rounded top off of each cake using a large serrated knife. Slice each cake in half horizontally to yield 4 slices.
• Prepare the filling: beat peanut butter, cream cheese, honey, butter, and salt together at medium speed until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until smooth. Beat in milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. The peanut butter mixture should be loose enough to be spreadable.
• Place jelly in a small mixing bowl and whisk to loosen.
• Carefully transfer one cake layer to a cake plate or serving platter. Gently spread 1/3 of the peanut butter mixture over the cake, spreading all the way to the edges. Spread 1/3 of the jelly over the peanut butter layer. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat with peanut butter filling and jelly. Repeat with the third layer, remaining filling and jelly. Place the final cake layer on top, trimmed side up. Slice diagonally for a sandwich effect.
