Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures the cake bakes evenly.
-
-
Prepare Pan: Generously grease and flour a 12-cup tube or ring pan, which will help the cake release easily after baking.
-
Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the bittersweet chocolate, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and glossy.
-
Mix Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, chunky peanut butter, and both sugars. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and creamy.
-
Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time to the peanut butter mixture, ensuring to beat well after each addition to fully incorporate.
-
Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, ensuring there are no lumps.
-
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing just until blended. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Separate Batters: Divide the batter in half by pouring half into another bowl. Stir the melted chocolate into one bowl until completely blended.
-
Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips into the other bowl of peanut butter batter, creating a rich texture.
-
Layer Batters in Pan: Using a large spoon, drop alternate spoonfuls of the chocolate mixture and peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan.
-
Create Marble Effect: With a knife, swirl through the batters to create a marbled effect, ensuring not to overmix.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched lightly.
-
Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
-
Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the remaining butter, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and water. Melt over low heat, stirring until well blended and smooth. Let cool slightly until it thickens.
-
Drizzle Glaze: Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to run down the sides for a beautiful finish.
Enjoy your decadent Marbled Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake, perfect for any occasion or simply as a treat for yourself!
