Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 0.5 cups creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed until well incorporated.

Step 4

Reduce the speed to low and gradually mix in the boiling water. The batter will be thin; this is normal.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared pan (or divide evenly between two round pans). Set aside.

Step 6

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and milk. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until a smooth, spreadable consistency is achieved.

Step 7

Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture onto the chocolate batter at even intervals. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the peanut butter mixture into the batter, creating a marbled effect.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Cool the cake(s) in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve your Choco Peanut Butter Swirl Cake as is, or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
