Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Grease and flour three 8x2 round cake pans. (I also line my pans with parchment or wax paper.)
- In the bowl of your mixer, combine dry ingredients and mix for 30 seconds to blend.
- In another bowl, combine water, eggs, oil & vanilla. Add the peanut butter and wet ingredients to the dry and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stop after 1 minute to scrape the sides and bottom of bowl then continue to mix for the second minute.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder with 4 tablespoons of very hot water and allow to sit for 3 minutes. Then, combine this cocoa mixture with 2 cups of peanut butter batter to create the chocolate batter for marbling.
- To marble, I divided about half of the peanut butter batter between the three cake pans. Then, I divided half of the chocolate batter between the three cake pans on top of the peanut butter batter (scoop/drizzle approximately 1/3 cup chocolate batter into each pan). Repeat with the second half of the peanut butter batter and the remaining chocolate batter. Run knife through the pans a few times to marble the batter. Tap pans on countertop if needed so that the batter will spread out evenly.
- Bake at 325 degrees....check at 23 minutes to see if middle of cake springs back when touched, a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached, and the cake will be slightly pulled away from the pan.
- Makes about 6 cups of batter.
- Fifteen minutes or more in advance of making, chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment or beaters in the freezer.
- Add the peanut butter to the mixing bowl and approximately a cup of heavy cream. Mix until the peanut butter is blended into the cream.
- Add the powdered sugar and the remaining cream. Mix at medium to medium high speed.
- As the mixture begins to thicken, stop the mixer and scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
- Continue to mix until the mixture thickens, and stiff peaks form. Don't over mix.
- Place the first cake layer on the pedestal or cake base.
- Frost with a layer of Peanut Butter Whipped Cream Frosting.
- Repeat for the other two layers.
- Frost the top and sides with the Peanut Butter Whipped Cream. Smooth around the sides with a bench scraper or spatula to even out the amount of frosting all the way around. I then added texture with a small offset rounded spatula. When decorating cakes using a soft whipped cream frosting like this one, it is easier to use texturing techniques as we did rather than to go for a completely smooth finish.
- We topped of the cake with whole and sliced miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!
- Because of the whipped cream frosting, this cake should be refrigerated until an hour or two before serving.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER DUMP CAKE
I am a huge fan of the chocolate-peanut butter combination. I'm also a fan of easy recipes, including dump cakes. On occasion, I've omitted the peanut butter chips and used 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips with very tasty results. -Lisa Varner, El Paso, Texas

Tips:
- Use room temperature butter and eggs. This will help the cake batter emulsify more easily and create a smoother, more tender cake.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, airier cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Peanut butter and chocolate marble cake is a classic dessert that is always a hit. It is easy to make and can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Whether you are serving it for a birthday party or a simple weeknight dessert, this cake is sure to please everyone at the table.
