How to Make Choco Peanut Butter Swirl Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch fluted baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, prepare cake mix according to package directions. (If using from scratch, follow your preferred recipe).
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, and 2 large eggs until smooth and well combined.
  4. Gently fold the peanut butter mixture into the cake batter until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
  6. In a separate bowl, melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.
  7. Add the melted chocolate to the remaining batter and mix gently until combined.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate batter over the peanut butter batter in the pan. Using a knife or toothpick, swirl the batters together creating a marbled effect.
  9. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  11. Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons milk, and 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add more powdered sugar if needed to reach desired consistency.
  13. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
  14. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts (optional).
