Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

Ingredients

  • soft butter
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped peanuts
  • 1 box (2 layer size) white (or yellow) cake mix
  • 1 package (3 3/4 ounce size) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4 cup water
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup coconut, optional
  • confectioner's sugar for dusting

Preparation

Step 1

Generously butter a 10-cup Bundt 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 degrees F. 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.

Dust with confectioner's sugar, if desired.
