Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent the cake from sticking during baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and granulated sugar until well combined to ensure even distribution of leavening and flavor.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then add the whole milk and creamy peanut butter. Mix well until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a dense cake.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the greased baking dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, checking by inserting a toothpick in the center—it should come out with moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Cool the Cake: Once baked, let the cake cool in the dish for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing the texture to set for the best ooey gooey experience.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and tender.
- Check the cake at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- Allow the cake to cool properly to enhance the gooey texture.
- This cake pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
