This Chocolate Peanut Butter Bundt Cake is a rich chocolate/brownie cake batter with a peanut butter cheesecake filling, topped with a peanut butter glaze and Reese’s peanut butter cups.
Reese’s Bundt Cake
This Reese’s cake is so good! It is a combination of chocolate and brownie which makes it so moist and delectable. There is a simple and tasty peanut butter cheesecake filling which makes the recipe even more amazing. I love using the peanut butter drizzle and a ganache drizzle on top of the cake as well and decorating with Reese’s cups.
Key Ingredients You’ll Need
Chocolate: You will use a combination of chocolate cake mix and brownie cake mix to make the chocolatey batter. You will use semi-sweet chocolate chips to drizzle a ganache on top of the cake.
Peanut Butter: Add this to the batter to make the cake even more moist and smooth. Garnish and decorate with a peanut butter ganache and mini peanut butter cups.
How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Bundt Cake
Step 1. Set the oven to 350 degrees and use baking spray to grease a 10-cup bundt pan. Add the cake mix, brownie mix, egg, water, and oil into a large mixing bowl and combine. Look at the directions on each box to see what additional ingredients you need, they might be different from what the recipe calls for. Add 1/2 of the batter into the greased bundt pan.
Step 2. Add the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and peanut butter into a medium mixing bowl and combine until smooth. Put spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture into the bundt pan. Pour the rest of the chocolate/brownie mixture on top before placing the bundt pan on a cookie sheet. Put into the oven for 50-60 minutes or test with a toothpick to check for doneness. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before flipping it onto a cooling rack to cool thoroughly. Prepare the topping once the cake is cooled.
Step 3. In a small heat-safe bowl, add in the heavy whipping cream and heat for 30-seconds in the microwave until hot. Put in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and allow it to sit to melt for 5 minutes. Mix and combine until fully incorporated and melted. Drizzle the melted chocolate on top of the cake. Add the peanut butter into a small heat-safe bowl and melt for 20-seconds before drizzling it on top of the cake. Decorate with chopped or whole mini Reese’s cups. Serve and enjoy!

1 thought on “Chocolate Peanut Butter Bundt Cake”
I followed directions to a tee and the ganache was terribly runny. I guess I could’ve added more chocolate chips but I kept thinking it would set after a while. But it didn’t. Other than that it was apparently good.
