Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Cake
Recipe Type: Dessert
Serves: 10
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (6 ounces)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (8 ounces)
  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
Instructions
  1. Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan. Heat oven to 350°.
  2. Beat peanut butter and butter together. Beat in brown sugar until light; add eggs and vanilla and beat until blended. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly beat in about 1/3 of the flour mixture and half of the milk. Repeat additions, ending with remaining flour. Beat just until blended.
  3. Measure about 1 cup of the batter into a small bowl. Spread half of the remaining light batter into prepared pan. Into the reserved batter, stir in melted chocolate until well blended. Drop chocolate batter onto the light batter; spread over the light batter. Spoon remaining light batter over the chocolate layer; spread carefully. Using a small spatula or butter knife, swirl the batter to create a marble effect. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in a pan on rack for 15 minutes. If desired, turn out of pan onto a serving plate and cool completely, or leave in pan and cool completely. Frost the cooled cake with Creamy Chocolate Frosting (store bought works fine).

The pudding is done when the edges start getting a bit brown and pull away from the edge of the pan. Can also make in individual ramekins.
