Yield Serves 12-16

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 1/2 cups creamy, no-stir peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons warmed virgin coconut oil, divided
5 cups crispy rice cereal
2 cups Chex cereal
1 1/2 cups salted mini pretzels, lightly crushed
1 cup potato chips, lightly crushed
1 cup roasted, salted peanuts
6 ounces dark chocolate
Special Equipment
An 8-cup Bundt pan

Steps:

  • Line Bundt pan with plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang; coat with nonstick spray.
  • Whisk peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and 1/2 cup coconut oil in a large bowl until combined. Using a spatula, gently fold in cereals, pretzels, potato chips, and peanuts. Transfer mixture to prepared pan, spreading evenly and pressing firmly into pan. Chill until cake is set, at least 1 hour.
  • When ready to serve, melt chocolate and remaining 2 Tbsp. coconut oil in a medium heatproof bowl set over a medium pot of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally, or melt in a microwave in short bursts, stirring between bursts, until chocolate is smooth.
  • Using plastic overhang, lift cake from pan, then invert onto a platter. Drizzle cooled cake with melted chocolate, then chill to set before serving, about 10 minutes.
  • Do Ahead
  • Cake can be made 3 days ahead. Wrap in plastic and chill.

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I really enjoyed this cake. The cake itself is light and fluffy, and the frosting is rich and creamy. The peanut butter flavor is subtle, so it's not overpowering.
