Categories     dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter, warmed
2 cups milk chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 10-by-15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. In a measuring cup, combine the buttermilk, oil and vanilla.
  • Beat the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until very pale and thick, about 5 minutes. Add the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth evenly with an offset spatula. Tap the pan on the counter lightly to release any large air bubbles, then bake until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Dollop the peanut butter on top and evenly smooth it over the cake as it melts. Transfer the cake to a cooling rack and cool completely.
  • Put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Pour the chocolate over the peanut butter and spread it evenly with the offset spatula. Refrigerate until just set, about 20 minutes.
  • Cut the cake into squares and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter, melted, plus more for pan
1 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped peanut butter cups, about 8 pieces (recommended: Reese's)
1/4 cup peanut butter, plus 2 tablespoons, heated in microwave at 10 second intervals for easy spreading
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup warm water, plus more as needed
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter 2 (8-inch) circular pans and line with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl combine the 1 cup melted butter and cocoa and stir until the cocoa is dissolved.
  • Add the sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, and mix well. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and mix until incorporated. Stir in the vanilla, flour and salt and combine until the flour is no longer visible. Fold in the chopped peanut butter cups and divide the mixture between the pans. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Run a knife around the edge of each pan and turn out onto a work surface.
  • Put 1 cake layer on a cake plate or a round platter. Spread the 1/4 cup of peanut butter over the first layer and top with the second layer. In a bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, the confectioners' sugar and water until a glaze forms. Add more water, if needed, to achieve desired glaze consistency. Pour the glaze on top of the torte, spreading it out with a small knife allowing it to drip over the sides. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler and drizzle over the glaze. Cut into slices and serve.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER SHEET CAKE



Chocolate-Peanut Butter Sheet Cake image

This sweet and simple sheet cake marries two great flavors that just plain belong together: rich and tender chocolate cake, and creamy peanut-butter frosting. For maximum fluff, go for a classic smooth variety of peanut butter, and plug in your mixer-manpower alone won't be enough. Scatter chopped peanuts along the edges for any crunchy fans in the house.

Time 2h10m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more, softened, for pan
1 1/3 cups unbleached all- purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla paste or extract
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 cup smooth peanut butter (not natural), such as Jif
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
1/3 cup chopped salted roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush a 9-by-13-inch or 8-by-12-inch baking pan with butter. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides. Butter parchment.
  • Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Combine eggs and granulated sugar in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until thick and pale, about 4 minutes. Add flour mixture; beat just to combine. Add butter and vanilla; beat to combine. Add sour cream; beat until smooth.
  • Scrape batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with a spatula. Bake until top springs back when lightly touched and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes (for 9-by-13-inch) or about 40 minutes (for 8-by-12).
  • Let cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Using parchment overhangs, lift cake out of pan and let cool completely on rack. (Cake can be made to this point and stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic, up to 1 day.)
  • Frosting: Beat butter and peanut butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in confectioners' sugar until thick and fluffy. Remove from mixer; stir in sour cream by hand until frosting is silky and dense. Spread over cake; sprinkle top with peanuts. Frosted cake is best the day it's assembled, but can be refrigerated, wrapped in plastic, up to 1 day. Return to room temperature before serving.
