PEANUT BUTTER-CARAMEL POUND CAKE



Peanut Butter-Caramel Pound Cake image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 2h34m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil cooking spray
1 (9.5-ounce) bag soft caramel candies, unwrapped (recommended: Kraft Classic Caramels)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-by-3-inch nonstick, metal loaf pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with a 14-by-3 1/2-inch piece of parchment paper. Spray with vegetable oil cooking spray. Line the sides of the pan with a 14-by-7-inch piece of parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a small, heavy saucepan, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the candies have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium and beat in the eggs and vanilla. With the machine running, gradually add the flour mixture in batches to form a thick batter. Beat in the peanut butter. Transfer half of the batter to the prepared pan. Pour 2 tablespoons of the caramel lengthwise along the center of the batter. Using the tip of a knife, swirl the caramel sauce into the batter. Place the remaining batter on top and pour another 2 tablespoons of the caramel sauce lengthwise along the center of the batter. Swirl the caramel sauce into the batter. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out with moist crumbs, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and peel away the parchment paper. Cool completely on a wire rack, about 1 hour (center of cake will fall during cooling). Slice the pound cake and place on a serving platter. Warm the remaining caramel sauce over low heat. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the pound cake slices or serve alongside.

PEANUT BUTTER MUFFINS



Peanut Butter Muffins image

Based on a recipe from Bruce Weinstein's & Mark Scarbrough's book, "The Ultimate Peanut Butter Book". I'm wild about peanut butter! The authors say, "Muffin tins don't come in standardized sizes. This recipe was developed for a tin in which each indentation holds about 1/3 cup batter. If yours holds more, increase the baking time by a few minutes; if less, decrease accordingly." These may also be customized, per the authors, by stirring in "2/3 cup dried cranberries, raisins, or semisweet chocolate chips in with the flour. Or add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon with the vanilla."

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 55m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

nonstick cooking spray or paper baking cup
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
1 large egg white, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk, plus
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Place rack in center of oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
  • Lightly spray the 12 indentations of a standard muffin tin with nonstick spray, or line each indentation with a paper muffin cup; set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt, if using, in a medium bowl; set aside as well.
  • Beat the peanut butter, sugar, and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Beat in the egg, then the egg white, and finally the vanilla until smooth.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and beat in the milk until creamy and light, about 1 minute.
  • Remove the beaters and stir in the prepared flour mixture with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula, just until moistened. The batter may still be grainy but no white pockets of flour should be visible.
  • Fill the muffin-tin indentations three-quarters full. Reserve any leftover batter for a second baking.
  • Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into one of the muffins comes out dry, about 20 minutes.
  • Cool the muffins in the tin on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then pop the muffins out of the tin and cool completely on the rack.
  • They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Or place them in a zip-closed plastic bag and freeze for up to 4 months.

PEANUT BUTTER POUND CAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Peanut Butter Pound Cake Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-2700

Number Of Ingredients 16

PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
5 eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups flour, all purpose
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup milk, whole or low fat
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup peanut butter, creamy
2 cups powdered sugar
Milk (amount varies based on consistency desired)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Prepare a large tube or bundt pan by greasing and flouring it. Set pan aside. Update: A couple people have commented that their cake overflowed while baking. This recipe makes a large cake and I used a large tube pan. Only fill your bundt/tube pan up about 3/4 full. Don't let the extra batter go to waste though, make some muffins or a small loaf. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Set aside. On medium speed, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the brown sugar and peanut butter and continue mixing. Add the eggs, one at a time. Wait until one egg is fully mixed in before adding the next one. Add vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and the milk to the creamed mixture. Alternate between the flour mixture and the milk, using about a fourth of the ingredient at a time. Always begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix completely. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes. Start checking to see if it is done at 60 minutes using a wooden toothpick. Continue checking every 5 minutes to make sure it does not overcook. When the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then remove it from the cake pan and cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar or frost as desired. Note that this recipe makes a large cake. For smaller pound cakes, use loaf pans or even mini bundt cake molds. Adjust the cooking time accordingly since they will not need as much time to bake. FROSTING: Cream butter and peanut butter. Add powdered sugar and milk while mixer is set on low. Add the milk one tablespoon at a time until you are happy with the consistency. Pour over the top of the cake. For Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting, melt 4 ounces of semisweet chocolate squares, cool slightly, and add to the butter and peanut butter mixture. Proceed with the rest of the instructions. Don't worry if the frosting is too thick or thin, just add small amounts of milk to thin, or powdered sugar to thicken.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the batter for extra flavor.
  • For a crunchier topping, sprinkle chopped nuts or oats on top of the muffins before baking.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • You can also make these muffins in a loaf pan. Just bake them for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter pound cake muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're moist, fluffy, and full of peanut butter flavor. Plus, they're topped with a delicious chocolate ganache that takes them over the top. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
