Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour or pastry flour for extra tenderness
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder I like Valrhona for depth
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 3 large eggs room temperature (bring them out 30 minutes before baking)
  • 1 cup whole milk 2% works too; for richness try half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for extra moisture)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter I use Jif or Peter Pan for consistency

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 10-cup bundt pan (I use Baker’s Joy spray or coat with butter and cocoa).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk sugars and eggs until pale and slightly thick. Add milk, sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently with a spatula, mixing just until you see no streaks of flour.
  • Spoon about two-thirds of the chocolate batter into the bundt pan. Drop dollops of peanut butter on top, then swirl gently with a butter knife or skewer.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let the cake rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool fully.

Notes

Tips: For fluffier cake, sift the cocoa powder with flour before mixing. Measure flour by spooning into the cup and leveling off. Let melted butter cool just enough so it doesn’t cook the eggs. For a glossier finish, spread a thin layer of melted chocolate over the top before serving.
