Categories     Cakes and Cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 box Yellow Cake Mix (We used Duncan Hines, Classic Yellow)
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
1 cup All Purpose Flour (121g)
1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter- We used Jif brand, full-fat (255g)
1 1/2 cups water (360g)
2 teaspoons vanilla (8g)
1 Tablespoon canola oil (8g)
3 whole eggs
4 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (measure then sift) + 4 Tablespoons very hot water (for marbling)
3 cups (726g) heavy cream or whipping cream
1/2 cup (132g) creamy peanut butter - we used Jif but any creamy peanut butter will be
fine. We have not tested with natural peanut butter or reduced fat.
1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar - measure then sift if needed, if you want it sweeter you
could add a bit more powdered sugar
*We used sliced and whole miniature Reese's Cups to decorate the top of the cake.

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.

2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
2 eggs
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
¾ cup unsalted butter
1 ¼ cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup creamy peanut butter
1 (12 ounce) jar hot fudge topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 (9 inch) pans. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the peanut butter and vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk. Pour batter into prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

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.
