    Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bundt Cake

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    I am a massive fan of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and pretty much all of their products. If I manage to avoid scoffing the whole pack when I buy PB cups, I love to bake with them. I've had the idea for this Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bundt Cake in my mind for a while, and I wasn't sure if it would work. Well I am pleased to report it does, and it's so incredibly delicious! This recipe is for a chocolate bundt cake - which is a cake baked in a round tin with a hole in the middle - with a peanut butter cheesecake filling. You can decorate it how ever you want, but I've drizzled it with warm peanut butter and melted milk chocolate, and finally topped it with Reese's Pieces sweets and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. It's chocolate and peanut butter heaven in cake form!

    How to make Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bundt Cake

    First, make the peanut butter cheesecake filling first by mixing the ingredients together with an electric hand whisk until they are smooth. For the chocolate sponge, mix the butter and sugar together, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla.

    Next, mix in the yoghurt, then finally add the flour, cocoa and baking powder and whisk everything together.

    To layer up the tin, put in half of the chocolate sponge. Then spoon in the cheesecake filling, making sure not to let it touch the edges of the tin. Add the remaining chocolate sponge batter over the top. Once the sponge is baked and cooled fully, drizzle the peanut butter and melted milk chocolate all over it. Top the Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bundt Cake with mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Reese's Pieces.

    Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bundt Cake

    The Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bundt Cake was a huge hit with my colleagues - probably one of the most popular cakes this year! They came in droves to get a slice and were full of praise for the flavour, which is always the best feedback. All the chocolate and peanut butter elements of the cake combine in the most nutty sweet and salty way, I just cannot resist this combination of flavours!!

    Ingredients

    For the chocolate sponge

    • 250 g Butter or baking spread
    • 300 g Caster sugar
    • 4 Eggs large
    • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
    • 315 g Self raising flour
    • 45 g Cocoa powder
    • 1 tsp Baking powder
    • 150 g Natural yoghurt

    For the peanut butter cheesecake filling

    • 200 g Full fat cream cheese
    • 100 g Caster sugar
    • 100 g Peanut butter
    • 1 Egg large
    • 1 tbsp Plain flour

    For decoration

    • 75 g Milk chocolate melted
    • 75 g Peanut butter smooth
    • Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cups
    • Reese's Pieces
    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions

    • Pre-heat your oven to 150C Fan/170C/325F/Gas Mark 3, and grease and flour a large bundt tin
    • Make the peanut butter cheesecake filling first by whisking together the ingredients until smooth. I used an electric whisk but you can do it by hand too. Set the mixture aside
    • For the chocolate sponge, mix the butter and sugar together until smooth
    • Add the eggs and the vanilla extract, and whisk in well
    • Add the yoghurt and whisk in well
    • Add the self raising flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Whisk in gently until you can't see any flour anymore
    • Pour half of the chocolate cake batter into the tin, then add the cheesecake filling without letting it touch the sides of the tin
    • Then add the remaining chocolate cake batter on top. Completely cover the cheesecake filling, but try not to disturb it
    • Bake for 55 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean
    • Remove the cake from the tin by placing a cooling rack on top of the tin and flipping it over then removing the tin. Leave to cool completely
    • Once the cake is cool drizzle over the peanut butter (I warmed it in the microwave for 20 seconds to make it easier to drizzle) then drizzle over the melted milk chocolate
    • Add peanut butter cups, and/or Reese's Pieces on top as desired
    • Leftovers will keep in an airtight container for 3 days

      Kat this cake is insane. I’m a huge Reece’s fan and so is our son. I’ve pinned this so that I can make it for his birthday. Just a quick question - what size Bundt tin did you use? X

        I used the Kitchencraft Masterclass one in the Amazon links above the recipe - I'm not sure what size it is but that's the one I have. Can't wait to see it when you make it!

      Wow! I love everything about this Kat - the chocolate & PB drizzles and the sprinkles are exciting as it is - AND then we see the secret cheesecake part once it's sliced into - such a fab idea Kat - so glad it worked 😀
