Recipe: Peanut Butter Bundt Cake with Chocolate Glaze

Desserts - Cakes
PEANUT BUTTER BUNDT CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 sticks (1 1/8 cups) unsalted butter, cut into chunks and softened
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 large egg yolk, room temperature
Chocolate Glaze (recipe follows)

Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan.

Whisk flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda together in a large bowl; set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk and vanilla together; set aside.

In another large bowl, beat butter, sugar and peanut butter together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 6 minutes. Beat in eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, until combined, about 1 minute.

Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in one-third of flour mixture, followed by half of buttermilk mixture. Repeat with half of remaining flour mixture and the remaining buttermilk mixture. Beat in remaining flour mixture until just incorporated.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Wipe any drops of batter off sides of pan and gently tap the pan on the counter to settle batter.

Bake cake until a wooden skewer inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 50 to 60 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking. Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then flip it out onto a wire rack. Let cake cool completely, about 2 hours.

Drizzle chocolate glaze over top and sides of cake. Let glaze set, about 25 minutes, before serving.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted
1/3 cup heavy (whipping) cream, hot
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt

Whisk all ingredients for the glaze together in a medium bowl until smooth and let mixture sit until thickened, about 25 minutes. Pour glaze over the top of the cake after it has cooled completely, letting the glaze drip down the sides. Let glaze set before serving, about 25 minutes.
