This isn’t just dessert; it’s an experience, a symphony of flavors and textures that dance on your palate with every bite. The foundation of this delectable creation is a tender cake, infused with the rich essence of chocolate and the nutty warmth of peanut butter.

The crumb is soft and yielding, practically melting in your mouth as the flavors begin to unfold.

The cake is then enveloped in a luscious chocolate ganache frosting.

The ganache is rich, decadent, and intensely chocolatey, creating a beautiful contrast to the nutty cake beneath. Its luxurious texture glides across your tongue, leaving behind a lingering sweetness that is both comforting and exhilarating.

The ribbons of peanut butter create a stunning visual contrast against the dark chocolate ganache, making this cake as beautiful to look at as it is to eat. This cake is a true celebration of the classic chocolate and peanut butter combination. It’s perfect for birthdays, special occasions, or simply as a well-deserved treat after a long day.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients: almond flour, sweetener (like Swerve), dark cocoa powder, peanut butter powder, baking powder, and kosher salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution.
    2.
    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Once melted, combine it with vanilla extract and eggs. Whisk these wet ingredients together until well combined and slightly frothy.
    3.
    Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently combine the mixture. It's okay if it's not completely smooth at this stage; some lumps are expected.
    4.
    Heat the cashew milk in a microwave-safe container until very hot but not boiling. Gradually add the hot cashew milk to the chocolate mixture while whisking continuously to remove any lumps and create a smooth, consistent batter.
    5.
    Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a plate, bottom side up. While the cake cools, heat the heavy cream in a microwave-safe container until boiling (about 45-60 seconds). Add the chocolate chips to the hot cream and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes without stirring. After 5 minutes, stir the cream and chocolate together until completely smooth and glossy.
    6.
    Pour the chocolate ganache evenly over the top of the cooled cake. Use an offset spatula to spread the ganache to the edges, allowing it to drip down the sides for a decadent effect.
    7.
    In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of peanut butter powder with 1 ½ tablespoons of water. Mix well until a smooth, creamy peanut butter drizzle is formed.
    8.
    Pour the peanut butter drizzle on top of the chocolate ganache in a swirling pattern. This creates an appealing visual contrast and adds to the peanut butter flavor.
    9.
    Using a skewer or toothpick, gently swirl the peanut butter drizzle and chocolate ganache together, creating a marbled effect. This enhances the visual appeal and blends the flavors beautifully.
