Reese’s Bundt Cake

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk

For the Chocolate Ganache:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup Reese’s peanut butter chips, for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Bundt Pan

1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your oven is at the correct temperature by the time your batter is ready.
2. Grease the Pan: Generously grease a 10-cup Bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray. Dust the pan lightly with flour, ensuring all crevices are coated. This step is crucial for ensuring the cake releases easily from the pan after baking.

2. Make the Chocolate Cake Batter

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sifting ensures the ingredients are well combined and removes any lumps in the cocoa powder.
2. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
3. Incorporate the Wet into Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to prevent the cake from becoming dense.
4. Add Boiling Water: Slowly pour the boiling water into the batter, stirring constantly. The batter will be thin, but this is expected and results in a moist cake.
5. Fold in the Chips: Gently fold in the Reese’s peanut butter chips and mini chocolate chips (if using). These add bursts of flavor throughout the cake.

3. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling

1. Cream the Butter and Peanut Butter: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until creamy and smooth.
2. Add the Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. The mixture should be thick but spreadable.
3. Adjust Consistency: Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the filling reaches a smooth, creamy consistency that can be easily spread or piped.
