Chocolate Glazed Peanut Butter Brownies image

If you are craving peanut butter and chocolate (and who doesn't?), then look no further. These chocolate brownies have a layer of peanut butter sandwiched between a fudgy-tasking chocolate glaze. I like Hershey's cocoa powder and Jif peanut butter, but use your favorite brands. Heads up...these are sinful!

Skinnygirl's Chocolate Cake With Peanut Butter Glaze image

This healthy and easy recipe (with wheat-free and vegan options) makes an incredibly moist cake. It's from "A The Skinnygirl Dish: Easy Recipes for Your Naturally Thin Life", by Bethenny Frankel. If you want a chocolate glaze, use melted butter and omit the peanut butter. If you want a plain peanut butter glaze, omit the cocoa. You could also use a round or square cake pan.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 9h

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
1 cup finely ground chocolate wafer cookies (4 ounces)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
4 ounces semisweet chocolate (55 to 61 percent cacao), finely chopped
4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
Pinch of coarse salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
Chocolate Glaze

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Wrap bottom and outside of a 9-inch springform pan with a double layer of foil. Coat bottom of pan with cooking spray, and line with parchment. Spray parchment.
  • Stir together cookie crumbs, butter, and sugar in a medium bowl. Press mixture firmly into bottom of pan, and bake until firm, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on wire rack.
  • Filling: Melt chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Let cool. Beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and beat in sugar in a slow, steady stream until combined. Beat in salt and vanilla until thoroughly combined and completely smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until combined after each addition (do not overmix).
  • Divide cream-cheese filling in half. Stir peanut butter into 1 half; stir melted chocolate into other half. Ladle 1 cup peanut butter filling into center of crust, and tap pan gently on counter to settle. Ladle 1 cup chocolate filling directly on top of peanut butter filling. Repeat, then switching to half-cup amounts, continue to ladle fillings into crust, alternating them until all of each filling is used.
  • Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Set cake pan in a large roasting pan, and transfer to oven. Carefully pour boiling water into roasting pan to reach halfway up sides of cake pan. Bake until cake is set but still slightly wobbly in center, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on wire rack. Refrigerate cake in pan until cold, at least 6 hours, up to overnight. Before unmolding, run a knife around edge of cake. Pour glaze over top of cake, smoothing with an offset spatula and letting it drip down the sides.

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help the cake batter come together smoothly.
  • Sift the flour before measuring it. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, fluffier cake.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

These chocolate cake recipes are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a decadent dessert to impress your guests or a simple snack to enjoy on a weeknight, you're sure to find a recipe that you'll love. So what are you waiting for? Start baking!
