Molten Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake
Probably my two most favorite ingredients together…chocolate and peanut butter…what a combo.
I was that kid obsessed with the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. I would trade every last piece of my Halloween candy for everyone else’s peanut butter cups. And I am the parent who steals all of my kid’s Halloween peanut butter cups too. They are not safe with me.
What I love about these cakes are the molten, peanut butter centers. It’s like winning a prize when you stick your spoon inside and out comes a gooey, warm peanut butter bite.
Just a tablespoon of peanut butter in the middle of batter is all it takes. Top with more chocolate batter on top and BOOM you have an amazing dessert.
A big glass of milk is a good idea with this one.
Perfection!

Wow, these look wonderful. Do you think that these could be made and assembled ahead of time (not baked) and put in the fridge? Then removed from the fridge long enough to reach room temperature and then baked. I’m always looking for ways to do things ahead of time. Your photography is spectacular, and you have such a knack for presenting your wonderful dishes is such an enormously appetizing way. Everything is so visually appealing. Thanks!

You can absolutely make them earlier but you must bring them back to room temperature or the cooking time will be way off and the cold dishes will throw off the water bath temperature. Enjoy! If you’re having a dinner party. Start preheating the oven when you sit down to dinner and pop them in while eating for the perfect warm dessert.
