Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • 1 1/4 cups peanut butter
  • 2 pounds milk chocolate candy bar, chopped
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and prepare the baking surface.
2
Grease a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan thoroughly with cooking spray and dust it lightly with flour.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients - specifically, the flour and baking powder.
4
Set these aside for later use.
5
Meanwhile, combine sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
6
Use an electric mixer to beat these ingredients together until they become light and pale in color, similar to lemon.
7
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture until well combined.
8
Place milk and margarine in a microwave-safe container, then heat it for 2 minutes, or until the mixture starts to bubble.
9
Stir this mixture into the batter until fully incorporated.
10
Pour the entire mixture into the prepared jelly roll pan.
11
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
12
Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before proceeding.
13
This step is crucial for achieving the desired texture.
14
Once cooled, spread a layer of peanut butter evenly across the cake using a spoon.
15
Make sure to cover the entire surface, including the edges.
16
Place the cake in the refrigerator for about an hour to allow the peanut butter to set.
17
Meanwhile, melt chocolate in a microwave-safe container by heating it for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
18
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer.
19
Finally, place the cake in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
