Steps:

• 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.
• In a small bowl, stir together the cocoa, confectioners' sugar, butter and 2 tablespoons hot water until smooth and set aside.
• In microwavable bowl, place peanut butter chips and shortening. Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until chips are melted and smooth when stirred.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

PEANUT BUTTER MARBLE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan, two 9-inch round cake pans or three 8-inch round cake pans; lightly flour. In large bowl, beat flour, granulated sugar, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1 1/4 cups milk, the baking powder, salt, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
• Pour two-thirds of batter (about 3 cups) into pan(s). Stir cocoa and baking soda into remaining batter. Drop chocolate batter by generous tablespoonfuls randomly in mounds onto peanut butter batter. Pull knife through batters in S-shaped curves in continuous motion for marbled design. Turn pan one-fourth turn; repeat marbling.
• Bake 13x9-inch pan 40 to 45 minutes, 9-inch rounds 30 to 35 minutes, 8-inch rounds 20 to 25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool 13x9-inch cake in pan on cooling rack. Cool rounds 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar and butter in medium bowl. Stir in vanilla, 1/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup peanut butter; beat until smooth and spreadable. Spread frosting over 13x9-inch cake or fill and frost cake rounds. Drop hot fudge topping by teaspoonfuls randomly over top; pull knife through frosting in S-shaped curves in continuous motion for marbled design.

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE MARBLE CAKE WITH PEANUT BUTTER WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING (DOCTORED CAKE MIX)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• Grease and flour three 8x2 round cake pans. (I also line my pans with parchment or wax paper.)
• In the bowl of your mixer, combine dry ingredients and mix for 30 seconds to blend.
• In another bowl, combine water, eggs, oil & vanilla. Add the peanut butter and wet ingredients to the dry and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stop after 1 minute to scrape the sides and bottom of bowl then continue to mix for the second minute.
• In a small bowl, dissolve the 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder with 4 tablespoons of very hot water and allow to sit for 3 minutes. Then, combine this cocoa mixture with 2 cups of peanut butter batter to create the chocolate batter for marbling.
• To marble, I divided about half of the peanut butter batter between the three cake pans. Then, I divided half of the chocolate batter between the three cake pans on top of the peanut butter batter (scoop/drizzle approximately 1/3 cup chocolate batter into each pan). Repeat with the second half of the peanut butter batter and the remaining chocolate batter. Run knife through the pans a few times to marble the batter. Tap pans on countertop if needed so that the batter will spread out evenly.
• Bake at 325 degrees....check at 23 minutes to see if middle of cake springs back when touched, a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached, and the cake will be slightly pulled away from the pan.
• Makes about 6 cups of batter.
• Fifteen minutes or more in advance of making, chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment or beaters in the freezer.
• Add the peanut butter to the mixing bowl and approximately a cup of heavy cream. Mix until the peanut butter is blended into the cream.
• Add the powdered sugar and the remaining cream. Mix at medium to medium high speed.
• As the mixture begins to thicken, stop the mixer and scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
• Continue to mix until the mixture thickens, and stiff peaks form. Don't over mix.
• Place the first cake layer on the pedestal or cake base.
• Frost with a layer of Peanut Butter Whipped Cream Frosting.
• Repeat for the other two layers.
• Frost the top and sides with the Peanut Butter Whipped Cream. Smooth around the sides with a bench scraper or spatula to even out the amount of frosting all the way around. I then added texture with a small offset rounded spatula. When decorating cakes using a soft whipped cream frosting like this one, it is easier to use texturing techniques as we did rather than to go for a completely smooth finish.
• We topped of the cake with whole and sliced miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!
• Because of the whipped cream frosting, this cake should be refrigerated until an hour or two before serving.

Bake for 35 minutes or until well risen and a toothpick inserted into cake comes out with moist crumbs attached. Cool for 12 minutes, on a wire rack, before running a knife around outside edges and inverting onto wire racks to cool completely For frosting: To make the frosting: In a small saucepan, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa, salt and milk; bring to a boil, whisking frequently.
