Peanut Butter Cake with Chocolate Chips

 

Peanut butter cake is made with a yellow cake mix and vanilla pudding and peanut butter and chocolate chips.

Ingredients:

• soft butter
• 1/2 cup finely chopped peanuts
• 1 box (2 layer size) yellow cake mix
• 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3 3/4 ounces)
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup coconut, optional

Preparation:

Generously butter a 10-cup bunt cake pan with the soft butter. Sprinkle the finely chopped peanuts in pan; shake to coat entire buttered surface. In a mixing bowl beat cake mix and pudding mix, oil, water, and eggs until well blended, about 4 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer. Beat in the peanut butter. Pour about 1/3 of the batter into the pan; sprinkle with a layer of half of the chocolate chips and coconut. Repeat. Pour remaining batter into the pan and bake at 350° for about 55 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool cake in pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto rack and cool thoroughly.
