Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cake Recipe

One whiff and it is obvious this delicious dessert is a peanut butter lover's delight. The chocolate chips are an added bonus. To kick it up another notch, add chocolate chips to the batter as well. This cake is rich, moist, dense, and positively decadent.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

Yield: 24 to 36 servings

Ingredients:

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with non-stick foil.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined. Using low speed on an electric mixer, slowly blend in peanut butter and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Remove 1 cup of the crumbly mixture and set aside for use as topping.

To the remaining mixture, add milk, eggs, and vanilla. Blend on low speed, just until combined. Then increase mixer speed to medium and beat for 3 minutes. Pour into prepared pan and smooth batter to an equal depth. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and top with reserved peanut butter crumb mixture. Tap gently on the counter to set toppings.

Bake 40 to 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool to room temperature before cutting.

Yield: 24 to 36 servings, depending on cut size.

Variations: Use all smooth peanut butter, all chunky or a mixture of both. You may fold an additional 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the cake batter before topping for more chocolate punch.

Yummy cake for peanut butter lovers!, Member myheartgoeson

I love this recipe...I used 1/2 cup of honey roast peanut butter, 1/4 cup Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter (by the brand Peanut Butter & Co), and 1/4 cup of homemade almond butter using the cocoa roasted kind, with a bit of added sugar. Every thing else I kept the same in this recipe and it turned out fantastic. I just like my nut butters, haha. This cake is easy for any party.
