CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SWIRL BUNDT CAKE
This peanut butter swirl bundt cake is for The Hubs. For years this man has eaten every experimental thing I’ve been able to dream up. From vegan food to rich desserts, he has always been my number one taste tester, so for once I thought I’d make something that I know he’ll actually like. The man loves all things peanut butter, and since its our anniversary this week, I figured his cravings deserve to be indulged.
Thank you honey, for being such a good sport all these years. I can’t promise soyrizo and lentils won’t cross your plate again, but I will promise to always balance it out with a little peanut butter or a chocolate chip cookie.
The cake part of this bundt is pretty darn tasty, but the real star is the peanut butter ganache. Pure amazingness. I had this idea for peanut butter ganache with the thought in my head that, “of course they sell peanut butter chips at the grocery store!” Well, yeah, I soon found out not every store sells them. If you have a hard time finding them, there’s always Amazon. It’s well worth the effort to source out these chips. The cake itself is not peanut buttery enough without the ganache in my opinion, besides, it makes it look so cool!
