Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 0.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed until well incorporated.
Reduce the speed to low and gradually mix in the boiling water. The batter will be thin; this is normal.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan (or divide evenly between two round pans). Set aside.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and milk. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until a smooth, spreadable consistency is achieved.
Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture onto the chocolate batter at even intervals. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the peanut butter mixture into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool the cake(s) in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your Choco Peanut Butter Swirl Cake as is, or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
