Ingredients for Chocolate Peanut Butter Bundt Cake with Peanut Butter Glaze

If you are someone who bakes regularly, there’s a really good chance you have all of the ingredients on hand.

  • Sugar
  • Butter
  • Eggs
  • Flour
  • Buttermilk
  • Peanut Butter Chips
  • Cocoa
  • Baking Powder 
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Confectioners’ Sugar
  • Creamy Peanut Butter
  • Milk

What can I substitute for buttermilk?

There really is no substitute but you can easily make it. Combine milk and either white vinegar OR lemon juice. 

To save yourself a trip to the store, put 1 Tablespoon of the white vinegar OR lemon juice in a measuring cup. Using the milk fill to the one cup line. Gently stir the mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes…use a timer! This will allow the milk to curdle slightly, giving it a buttermilk texture and taste.

Even though my family does not have the same affection for peanut butter, they like it but don’t love it, I do make recipes using the two ingredients often.

Mini peanut butter filled cupcakes and peanut butter truffle cookies, which are gluten-free, are favorites. This chocolate peanut butter Bundt cake with peanut butter glaze is a peanut butter lover’s dream dessert.

The cake is made from scratch and has peanut butter chips in the batter. I found the recipe in my Mom’s recipe box but I added the peanut butter glaze.

Tips and Substitutions

  • Don’t skip greasing the Bundt pan. This step is a necessity if you want it to come out in one piece.
  • If you’re short on time you can skip the glaze and finish the cake with a simple dusting of powdered sugar.
  • No peanut butter chips? You can certainly substitute chocolate chips. I would suggest semi-sweet.

The glaze would also be delicious on cupcakes or drizzled over a chocolate or peanut butter cookie. I’ve even used it on homemade donuts and topping homemade cinnamon rolls with it would be delicious too.

I love recipes that come together as easy as this one does. It’s perfect for a weeknight dessert, for a potluck or tailgate party on game day and impressive enough for a dinner party.
