Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 14 servings

  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

  • 2 tablespoons hot water

  • 1 cup peanut butter chips

  • 1 tablespoon shortening

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 ¼ cups water

  • 3 eggs

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). With a non-stick cooking spray, coat a 13X9X2 inch baking pan. Dust with flour and set aside.

  2. In a small bowl, stir together the cocoa, confectioners' sugar, butter and 2 tablespoons hot water until smooth and set aside.

  3. In microwavable bowl, place peanut butter chips and shortening. Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until chips are melted and smooth when stirred.

  4. In large bowl, combine cake mix, brown sugar, 1-1/4 cups water, eggs and reserved melted peanut butter mixture; beat on low speed of electric mixer until moistened. Increase speed to medium, beat 2 minutes until smooth. Remove 1-1/2 cups of the batter and add it to the reserved cocoa mixture; blend well.

  5. Pour the peanut butter flavored batter into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate batter on top. Swirl with a knife or spatula for a marbled effect.

  6. Bake at 350 degree F (175 degrees C) for 40 to 45 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool and frost as desired.
