How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  3. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ½ cup sour cream, 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup unsalted butter (softened), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
  4. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. (Optional) Prepare chocolate glaze by whisking together 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 cups powdered sugar, and ¼ cup milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
