Reeses Peanut Butter Cake Food

GIANT PEANUT BUTTER CUP CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare the cake batter according to the package instructions. Pour into the bottom of a jumbo silicone cupcake mold and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool completely, then unmold the cake onto a cooling rack set in a baking sheet.
• For the filling: Meanwhile, beat together the peanut butter and butter with an electric mixer until completely combined. Slowly add in the confectioners' sugar about a 1/4 cup at a time, beating in between additions, until completely incorporated. Beat in the salt. Set aside until ready to use.
• Cut off the domed top of the cake if one has formed, and save for another use (or eat!). Cut the cake horizontally into 3 layers and put them on a work surface Use a paring knife to cut out a 3 1/2-inch hole from the middle layer; set the cake layer aside (save the cutout for another use).
• Stack the bottom and middle cake layers on the prepared cooling rack. Fill the hole in the center with the peanut butter filling. Place the last cake layer on top. Invert the cake onto a plate and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Pour some of the hardening chocolate sauce over the top of the cake and use a rubber spatula to gently smooth and level it. Using a silicone brush, apply more of the chocolate sauce on the sides of the cake. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto a serving platter. Spread the remaining chocolate sauce on top of the cake in an even layer and chill in the refrigerator until set.
• Cut the cake into slices, exposing the peanut butter center.

RUGGLES REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUP CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Please Note****Plan ahead--cheesecake needs to chill for at least 4 hours.
• To Make The Crust:.
• Combine crushed Oreo cookies and peanuts that have been ground in a food processor with the melted butter.
• Pat the crust mixture onto bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan.
• To Make The Filling:.
• Beat cream cheese in bowl of electric mixer until smooth.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Add sugar, peanut butter and cream; mix until smooth.
• Stir in vanilla, then fold in peanut butter cup pieces with a rubber spatula.
• Pour filling into prepared crust.
• Place springform pan into a larger baking pan.
• Pour hot water into the larger pan so that the water comes 1 inch up the sides of the springform pan.
• Bake at 275°F 1-1/2 hours, or until firm and lightly browned.
• For The Topping:.
• Combine the sour cream and sugar and spread on the cheesecake.
• Return the cake to the oven for 5 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for one hour.
• You may run a knife along the edge of the cake to loosen it from the pan somewhat.
• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

OVER-THE-TOP REESE'S CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
• For the crust: Pulse the cookies and sugar in a food processor to fine crumbs. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture holds together when squeezed. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the side of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake until crisp and set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Cover the crust with the peanut butter cups. Wrap the bottom and sides of the pan with a large piece of foil and put it in a large roasting pan.
• For the filling: Beat the cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large bowl for 1 minute. Add the sour cream and beat until just combined. Mix in the eggs by hand, one at time. Mix in the vanilla by hand until just combined. (Take care not to overmix, or the cheesecake will puff up and crack.)
• Put the chocolate chips and peanut butter in 2 separate large microwave-safe bowls. Microwave each in 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until the chips and peanut butter are smooth and pourable, about 2 minutes.
• Ladle 2 cups of the cheesecake batter into the bowl with the chocolate and fold until combined. Fold the remaining cheesecake batter into the bowl with the peanut butter until combined.
• Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon and drop alternating scoopfuls of the batter onto the crust. Drag a long wooden skewer through the batter, making sure the skewer reaches the bottom, to marble the colors in a tie-dye effect. Add enough hot water to the roasting pan to come about halfway up the side of the springform pan.
• Bake until the outside of the cake is set, but the center is still slightly loose, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven for another hour. Remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan to a cooling rack. Run a knife around the edge and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
• Run a knife around the edge of the pan once more, unmold the cheesecake and transfer to a serving plate or cake stand. Smooth the edges with the knife. Drizzle the hot fudge sauce around the edge of the cake, letting it drip slightly over the sides. Make a decorative ring around the edge of the cheesecake with the miniature peanut butter cups, overlapping them slightly. Make another ring on the inside of the peanut butter cups with the Reese's Pieces. Slice and serve cold with whipped cream and more hot fudge sauce.

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Bake a chocolate cake with your recipe of choice in a 9x13 pan
• Use the bottom of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly throughout the cake. I usually end up poking 20-25 holes.
• Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over top of the cake, aiming to fill up the holes.
• Scrape the hot fudge into a medium bowl. Add the 1/4 cup peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds. Mix until smooth and spread over the cake.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp peanut butter with the cool whip (I use a hand mixer here, but it's not a big deal to do it by hand).
• Spread the peanut butter cool whip over top.
• Chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is really best).
• Top with chopped Reese's cups and Reese's Pieces (you can add these before chilling, but the Reese's Pieces candy coating will bleed onto the cool whip when chilled).
• Serves approximately 12 (large pieces).

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare cake according to directions on box. Bake in 2 greased and floured 9 inch round pans. Cool completely.
• 2. For frosting: Beat together butter, peanut butter, vanilla and salt. Add powdered sugar and enough cream to reach spreading consistency. Do this while cake is cooling.
• 3. To assemble: Place one cake layer on a plate, flat side up. Spread with a layer of frosting. If desired, sprinkle with a few finely chopped Reese's peanut butter cups. Top with remaining cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake. Decorate with halved Reese's peanut butter cups. Finely chop any remaining peanut butter cups and sprinkle them in the center.
• 4. If you make this cake during warmer months and your house is warmer then you will need to keep it refrigerated as the icing may begin to "droop" on you. You may also find that freezing (or refrigerating) the Reese's cups will make them easier to work with. I used mine from the refrigerator, not frozen.

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, salt and powdered sugar until firm. Slowly melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. You may also melt them in a microwave oven set on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through the heating time. Grease the muffin tin cups and spoon some chocolate into each cup, filling halfway. With a spoon, draw the chocolate up the edges of each cup until all sides are coated. Cool in the refrigerator until firm. Spread some of the peanut butter onto the chocolate in each cup, leaving room for the final chocolate layer. Cool the cups again to firm up the peanut butter. Pour some chocolate onto the top of each candy and spread it to the edges. Let sit at room temperature, or covered in the refrigerator. Turn out of the pan when firm.
