Tips & Techniques

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    Bake 50 to 60 minutes.

  • Garnishing this cake with chopped peanuts not only looks pretty, it helps your guests know that the dessert is made with peanuts - vitally important information for those with allergies. This cake is sturdy enough to slice, wrap and pack for brown bag picnics and lunches.

Ingredients

  • Cake
  • 1  box (1 lb 2.25 oz) yellow cake mix with pudding
  • 1  cup milk
  • 1/2  cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1  teaspoon vanilla
  • 3  eggs
  • 1  bag (12 oz) miniature semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
  • Icing
  • 1/4  cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1  bag (6 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
  • Garnish
  • 2  tablespoons chopped peanuts

Directions

  1. 1Heat oven to 350ºF. Generously grease with shortening and lightly flour 12-cup fluted tube pan. In medium bowl, beat cake mix, milk, peanut butter, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer at low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl constantly. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in miniature chocolate chips. Pour into greased and floured pan.
  2. 2Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean and top springs back when touched lightly near center. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Invert onto wire rack or heatproof serving plate; remove pan. Cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.
  3. 3In small saucepan, melt all Icing ingredients over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Drizzle warm icing over top of cooled cake, allowing some to drip down sides. Sprinkle peanuts over icing.

Hi Anon - You could use a different type/size of pan, but you would need to adjust baking times.

Could this be made in a 9 x 13 pan?
