A Brief History & Sweet Formation:

The concept of a “gooey” cake dates back to the American South, where desserts like “Gooey Butter Cake” first took root. As bakers experimented, chocolate and peanut butter became natural additions—an iconic duo born in the 20th century and immortalized by Reese’s. This cake pays homage to those bold combinations but takes things even further with a fudgy, brownie-like base and a peanut butter swirl that oozes affection in every bite.

Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Cake Base:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Gooey Peanut Butter Layer:

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prepare:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Make the Chocolate Base:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla.
  4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until well combined.
  5. Spread the chocolate batter evenly in your prepared baking pan.

3. Prepare the Gooey Peanut Butter Layer:

  1. In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.
  2. Add in the powdered sugar, mixing until fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla until creamy.
  4. Gently spoon or dollop the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate base, then use a butter knife to swirl the two layers together for that signature ooey-gooey magic.

4. Bake to Perfection:

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still a little jiggly—that’s what makes it ooey gooey! Let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Top with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of hot fudge or melted peanut butter.
  • Sprinkle with crushed peanuts or mini chocolate chips for added texture.
  • Best served with coffee, milk, or a tall glass of love.
