Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 chocolate kisses
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper, lightly greasing the sides to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter and sugar until smooth and well combined, using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg to the peanut butter mixture, beating until fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula and creating a smooth surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are slightly golden brown.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, unwrap the chocolate kisses and gently press one into the center of the cake, creating a decorative chocolate focal point.
- Allow the cake to set for an additional 15 minutes before slicing and serving to ensure the chocolate kiss is firmly in place.
Tips
- • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smoother mixing and better cake texture • Don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender • For extra richness, use creamy peanut butter instead of natural or chunky varieties • Make sure to let the cake cool completely before adding chocolate kisses to prevent melting • For a decorative touch, you can slightly angle the chocolate kiss or arrange multiple kisses in a pattern • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days • For added flavor, consider sprinkling some sea salt on top or drizzling with melted chocolate
