Ingredients:
- For the Chocolate Cake:
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix (or your favorite chocolate cake recipe)
- Ingredients required by the cake mix (typically water, oil, eggs)
- For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For Decoration:
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions (typically 350°F or 175°C).
- Grease and flour a Bundt cake pan thoroughly to ensure easy release after baking.
- Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the package instructions or your recipe.
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, reserving about 1/3 of the batter.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
- Spoon this mixture over the cake batter in the pan, trying to keep it in the center and away from the edges of the pan.
- Top with the remaining cake batter, making sure the peanut butter filling is covered.
- Bake:
- Bake according to the cake mix instructions or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean (usually about 45-55 minutes).
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, letting them sit for about 5 minutes without stirring.
- After 5 minutes, whisk the mixture until smooth and glossy.
- Let the ganache cool slightly until it thickens but is still pourable.
- Decorate the Cake:
- Pour the ganache over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Sprinkle the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups over the ganache while it’s still soft.
- Serve:
- Allow the ganache to set slightly before serving.
- Cut into slices and enjoy your decadent Reese’s Bundt Cake.
