bon appetit is the best food magazine out there for recipes. The recipes actually turn out!!
I try to make at least 3 recipes from every issue of bon appetit. I have tried so many other recipes from other magazines and they are all either boring or never turn out and taste as good as they appear in the picture.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Fun Cake is amazing. March 2012 page 70. I used Trader Joe's Cookie Butter in the frosting instead of peanut butter to change it up. WOW DELICIOUS!!! The cake batter is Vegan so if you wanted to make your own vegan topping that would be nice.
For the cake
nonstick spray the sides and the bottom of an 8x8x2 pan then lay parchment paper on bottom.
whisk in a bowl 1 1/4 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 3/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder, 11/2 tsp. kosher salt, 1 tsp. baking soda. Now add and whisk in 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, and 1 1/4 cup water. Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped dark chocolate.
Pour into pan, bake at 350 degrees for about 35-40 min until center is cooked. Cool on a cookie rack. When it is cooled flip over onto a decorative plate. Peel parchment paper off. Now decorate with whatever topping you want!!!! This cake is so moist and delicious!
