Ingredients:
*For the Cake:*
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
– 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 cup boiling water
For the Peanut Butter Swirl:
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
For the Chocolate Ganache:
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
– Chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (for garnish)
Instructions:
*Step 1: Prepare the Batter*
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a Bundt cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
*Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients*
Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Use an electric mixer to blend the ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
*Step 3: Add Boiling Water*
Gradually add the boiling water to the batter while mixing on low speed. The batter will become thin, but that’s normal. The boiling water helps create a moist and tender cake.
*Step 4: Prepare the Peanut Butter Swirl*
In a separate bowl, mix together the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter until smooth.
*Step 5: Layer the Batter and Swirl*
Pour about two-thirds of the chocolate batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter swirl mixture over the batter. Use a skewer or knife to gently swirl the peanut butter into the chocolate batter.
*Step 6: Bake to Perfection*
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
*Step 7: Create the Chocolate Ganache*
While the cake is cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add the semisweet chocolate chips. Let them sit for a minute, then stir until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is smooth.
*Step 8: Drizzle and Garnish*
Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the chocolate ganache over the top. Sprinkle chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups over the ganache for a delightful finishing touch.
Reese’s Bundt Cake is an invitation to indulge in the ultimate fusion of chocolate and peanut butter. With its moist and rich chocolate cake, creamy peanut butter swirls, and luscious chocolate ganache, every bite promises a taste of sweet heaven.
