Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake Recipe

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake Recipe that serves 4 people

The Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake is a rich and indulgent dessert that brings together two of the most beloved flavors in the world—smooth, nutty peanut butter and deep, decadent chocolate. This cake typically features moist layers of chocolate cake, complemented by a creamy, luscious peanut butter frosting. The contrast between the slightly salty peanut butter and the sweetness of the chocolate creates a perfectly balanced flavor profile that appeals to both kids and adults. Often topped with chocolate ganache, crushed peanuts, or chocolate chips, it’s a show-stopping treat for birthdays, celebrations, or any occasion where comfort food is a must.

 🧁 Make the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 6-inch round cake pan (or two 4-inch pans).
 
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
 
Add in the egg, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
 
Slowly stir in the hot water — the batter will be thin.
 
Pour into the prepared pan(s) and bake for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
 
Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
 
🍯 Make the Peanut Butter Frosting:
Beat the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth and creamy.
 
Gradually add in powdered sugar, followed by vanilla.
 
Add milk a tablespoon at a time until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
 
🎂 Assemble the Cake:
If you used two pans, layer the cakes with frosting in between. Otherwise, slice the single cake horizontally into two layers.
 
Frost the top and sides with the peanut butter frosting.
 
Decorate with chocolate shavings, peanuts, or a drizzle of melted chocolate if desired.
