Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake Recipe

We've created the ultimate dessert recipe and another of Matts favorites with our Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake. Insert the word 'lava' anywhere because this cake will be oozing with peanut butter lava once you dig in! It's a simple cake to make!!

This cake is like a massive reeses cup just waiting for you to take a bite. And, since you get to dictate how much peanut butter goes in you can make it exactly like the candy with basically a 4 to 1 ratio of peanut butter to chocolate. We first made the cake without the frozen peanut butter disc, but once we made it and tried it a second time we knew it was almost vital in the process of maximizing the PB lava in this recipe. You don't have to be all fancy with a cookie cutter though, saran wrap will do just fine for making a ball or any shape for that matter!

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CAKE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

1 oz Unsweetened Bakers Chocolate
2-3 tbsp Peanut Butter
2 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream
1 large Egg
2 tbsp erythritol
5-7 liquid Liquid Stevia
1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
2 tsp Coconut flour
1/4 tsp Baking powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Optional Make Ahead: In our video we made a frozen peanut butter disc to optimize peanut butter to chocolate ratio and it's also perfectly melty when you cut into the cake. You can also choose to dollop in 2-3 tbsp of peanut butter right into the middle.**To increase sweetness you may want to add 5 drops of stevia to the peanut butter.
Combine bakers chocolate and butter and melt in a microwave safe bowl in bursts of 30 seconds.
Add cream, egg and stevia drops to the chocolate and butter mixture. Set aside.
Combine all dry ingredients: erythritol, coco powder, coconut flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until you get a smooth uniform thick batter.
Pour half the batter into your greased ramekin or springform pan. We use a 4" springform pan for this.
Place the peanut butter right in the center without allowing it to run to the edges.
Pour the second half over the peanut butter.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 13-15 minutes.
You'll know it's done when the edges have firmed and the center is still a little jiggly/not fully cooked seeming.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
