My father in law was the first in his family to go to college and the only one to earn a PhD. His work was in peanut crops and the diseases that affect peanuts. Given his life’s work, it’s safe to say that any dessert featuring peanuts is appropriate for Granddad’s birthday celebrations! When I first made this cake for one of his birthday celebrations, it was a hit with the extended family, too. I’ve only made it this way, as a Bundt cake covered with chocolate ganache, but you could also try baking it in a loaf pan and turning the slices into French toast.
Peanut Butter Bundt Cake
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut flour Defatted works best
- 1/3 cup blanched almond flour
- 1/3 cup oat fiber
- 1/3 cup whey protein isolate
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup 2 4oz sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sweetener
- 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1/2 cup peanut butter room temperature
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 ounces low carb chocolate chopped, or chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 batch chocolate ganache Keto Gatherings or milk chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-cup Bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut flour, almond flour, oat fiber, whey protein isolate, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to cream the butter and sweetener. After the butter has lightened in color, it is well mixed. If the butter becomes grainy looking, it is too warm; place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill for a bit.
- Add the cream cheese and peanut butter to the butter mixture and mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture by hand. Stir in the chopped chocolate, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan.
- Before serving, drizzle the ganache or chocolate syrup over the cake.
