PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE MARBLE CAKE WITH PEANUT BUTTER WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING (DOCTORED CAKE MIX)

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.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Make the peanut butter filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the peanut butter, cream cheese and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the egg and vanilla and mix on medium speed until fully incorporated. Add the flour and salt and mix on low speed to combine. Scrape the mixture into a large resealable plastic bag (or pastry bag) and set aside. (Alternatively, you can scrape the mixture into a medium bowl.) If necessary, rinse and dry the paddle attachment and bowl before proceeding.
• Make the cake: Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly spray a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick spray. Add a few spoonfuls of cocoa powder into the pan and tap it around until the pan is fully coated in cocoa.
• Place 1 cup/95 grams cocoa powder in a medium heat-safe bowl, and pour the boiling water over it. Whisk well to combine, then add the buttermilk and whisk to combine.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, oil and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed until fully incorporated and scraping the bowl between each addition. Add the vanilla and mix on low speed to combine.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to combine. Add about a third of this mixture to the mixer and mix on low speed to combine.
• Add half of the cocoa-buttermilk mixture to the mixer and mix on low speed to combine. Continue to alternate adding the dry and wet ingredients until the batter is uniformly combined.
• Pour about 2/3 of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Cut a 1-inch opening from one of the bottom corners of the bag and squeeze the peanut butter filling into the pan, making a ring in the center of the chocolate batter aiming not to touch the outer edge or inner tube of the pan. Alternatively, you can gently spoon the peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate batter, aiming to create a ring shape.
• Pour the remaining chocolate cake batter on top of the peanut butter filling and gently spread into an even layer. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour or up to 1 hour 10 minutes.
• Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use a small offset spatula to gently loosen the cake at the edges and around the inner tube, and invert it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Make the peanut butter glaze: Heat the cream in a small pot to a simmer. In a small heat-safe bowl, mix the peanut butter and confectioners' sugar to combine, then add the hot cream, and mix until smooth. It should be thick but still loose enough to drizzle easily.
• Make the chocolate glaze: Heat the cream in the small pot to a simmer. Place the chocolate in a medium heat-safe bowl, then pour the hot cream over it. Stir until the mixture is totally smooth. It will be thinner than the peanut butter glaze.
• Place the cake on the cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Spoon half of the chocolate glaze over the cake, letting it drip down the sides, then spoon half of the peanut butter glaze on top. Repeat this process with the remaining glaze, and use the back of the spoon to gently swirl where the two glazes meet in a few spots. Gently remove the cake and transfer to a serving platter. Allow the glaze to set at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
