Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking dish and line the bottom with parchment.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the egg, vanilla, buttermilk, oil, water, and peanut butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Pour into the baking dish.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Begin checking for doneness at 30 minutes.
• Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool completely, or serve while it's still warm. Serve plain or with desired toppings.

CRISPY PEANUT BUTTER SNACK CAKE

Steps:

• Line Bundt pan with plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang; coat with nonstick spray.
• Whisk peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and 1/2 cup coconut oil in a large bowl until combined. Using a spatula, gently fold in cereals, pretzels, potato chips, and peanuts. Transfer mixture to prepared pan, spreading evenly and pressing firmly into pan. Chill until cake is set, at least 1 hour.
• When ready to serve, melt chocolate and remaining 2 Tbsp. coconut oil in a medium heatproof bowl set over a medium pot of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally, or melt in a microwave in short bursts, stirring between bursts, until chocolate is smooth.
• Using plastic overhang, lift cake from pan, then invert onto a platter. Drizzle cooled cake with melted chocolate, then chill to set before serving, about 10 minutes.
• Do Ahead
• Cake can be made 3 days ahead. Wrap in plastic and chill.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SNACK CAKES

Steps:

• FOR THE CAKE:.
• Preheat the oven to 325.
• Line one "jelly roll" pan with parchment paper cut exactly to fit the bottom of the pan, spraying the sides and bottom with nonstick spray before lining.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the warm water with the cocoa powder until smooth. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl by hand), beat the sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs on medium speed until combined. Turn the machine to lowest speed and add the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir until just incorporated, but do not over mix! Stream in the cocoa power and water mixture and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Stir in the buttermilk, the batter will be very thin. Spread the batter into an even layer making sure to get into the corners of the pan. Bake at 325 for 8 to 10 minutes until the cake is just barely baked through. If you over-bake it will be crispy. Let cool.
• FOR THE FROSTING:.
• In a stand mixer, or by hand, beat together the cream cheese, peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the whole milk and salt and mix until incorporated.
• FOR THE GLAZE:.
• Gently melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Stir in the oil.
• Place a wire cooling rack on top of a parchment lined jelly roll pan.
• Drop the frosting in small dollops over the cake, then spread it evenly using an offset spatula. Remove the frosted cake from the pan and place on a cutting board, keeping the parchment attached.
• Using sharp scissors, cut the cake horizontally into two strips. Cut each strip into 6 even sections. Using the parchment to help, turn the segments into a tight roll. Because the cake is pliable, you can mold it into a perfect log. Place the rolls seam side down on the wire glazing rack. Pour the glaze over each log and top with chopped peanuts, reusing the extra glaze that has dripped through the wire rack onto the parchment.

PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY SNACK CAKE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add milk, peanut butter, eggs and butter. Beat at low speed until mixed. Then beat on medium speed for one minute, scraping the sides of the bowl constantly.
• Spread about two-thirds of the batter into a greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Stir jelly and spoon over batter. Drop remaining batter in small mounds on top of the jelly. Sprinkle with Crumb Topping.
• Crumb Topping: In a small mixing bowl stir together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup flour. Cut in 1/4 cup peanut butter and 3 tablespoons butter until crumbly.
• Bake in a 350 F oven for 30 - 35 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
