Well today, I bought you the best semi-homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Bundt cake recipe. It is always an interesting challenge turning box originated mixes into an incognito special creation.

Meet the Main Attraction!

Although there are no records to prove this, but it is said that the peanut plant originated in Peru or South America’s Brazil. Tribes in Peru originally used peanuts as sacrificial offerings and entombed them with mummies; while in Brazil, peanuts were grounded to make drinks. We sure came a long way!

As it seems, peanuts toured all over the world; from Brazil all the way to Asia, Africa, and North America. At first, they were grown as commercial crop as oil, food, and cocoa substitute.

Now when it comes to the heavenly peanut butter creation, evidence shows that South American Inca Indians were the first to grind peanuts to make peanut butter. Version of the sweet and salty treat were developed by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and a St. Louis physician. They used peanut butter as a protein substitute for older patients who had bad teeth and couldn’t chew meat.

Fast forward to our present times, peanuts and peanut butter became an integral part of every household. Whether it is eaten as a spread, dip, imbedded in recipes, or straight out of a spoon, the creamy delight never fails to leave you in bliss.

Frequently Asked Questions:

When should I remove my Bundt cake from the pan?

It is not wise to remove your Bundt cake from the pan while it is still hot. Allow your cake to cool completely before transferring it to a wire cooling rack.

How can I avoid my cake from sticking to the pan?

If you want your Bundt cake to turn out perfect, then make sure it doesn’t stick to the pan and ruin the picturesque presentation you are aiming for. For that reason, coat your pan with grease and flour.

What can I top my Chocolate Peanut Butter Bundt cake with?

If you want your Chocolate Peanut Butter Bundt cake to be a little extra, then top it off with some mini chocolate chips, crushed peanuts, or sprinkles. Make sure you add your topping right after you drizzle the glaze on. If the glaze cools down and sets, it won’t hold your topping in place!
