Peanut Butter Strawberry Jam Cake With Peanut Butter White Recipes

Steps:

• HEAT oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 9x9-inch baking pan with no-stick cooking spray.
• COMBINE sour cream, milk and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract in medium bowl. Stir in muffin mixes until blended. Spread evenly in prepared pan.
• COMBINE peanut butter, brown sugar, flour and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract in medium bowl with a fork until crumbs form. Stir jam until smooth. Drop small spoonfuls over top of batter. Swirl with a knife. Crumble streusel over jam.
• BAKE 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper baking cups. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
• Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the egg and strawberry extract, continue beating. Beat in the milk and buttermilk, then beat in the jam. The batter should be pink.
• Stir in 1/3 of the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Stir in 1/2 of the remaining flour and then add the remaining flour; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour the batter into prepared baking cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes clean, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool before frosting.
• Beat the peanut butter and butter until smooth in a large bowl. Mix in 2 cups of the confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup at a time; then stir in 1/4 cup milk. Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of sugar. If the frosting is too dry add a tablespoon of milk. Frost the tops of the cooled cupcakes.

Steps:

• For the cake: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans, and line the bottom of each with a round piece of parchment. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda together onto a piece of parchment or into a large bowl.
• Beat the butter, brown sugar, peanut butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and creamy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the side of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low, and add the flour mixture in 3 additions and the milk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just combined.
• Evenly divide the batter among the prepared cake pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for a few minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Invert each onto a cooling rack, and remove the parchment. (The cakes can be stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 1 day.)
• For the buttercream: Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan large enough to hold the heatproof bowl of a stand mixer above the water.
• Whisk together the granulated sugar, egg whites and salt in the stand mixer bowl. Set the bowl above the boiling water, and whisk until the mixture is warm to the touch and the sugar has completely dissolved. Transfer the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat at medium-high speed until cool and the whites hold stiff peaks, about 5 minutes. Beat in 3/4 cup of the peanut butter until smooth. Beat in a couple of chunks of butter at a time, making sure the pieces are incorporated before adding more. Continue beating on medium-high speed until the buttercream thickens into stiff peaks. (The mixture at some point may appear to be very liquidy, but continue to beat.) Beat in the vanilla.
• To assemble: Slice each cake in half, for a total of 4 cake rounds. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup peanut butter on 3 of the rounds, dividing evenly. Put 1 round, peanut butter-side up, on a cake stand or serving platter, and spread about 3/4 cup of the buttercream on top, leaving about a 1/2-inch border all around. Repeat with 2 more layers of peanut-buttered cake and buttercream. Place the last cake round (without the peanut butter) on top. Frost the outside of the cake with the remaining buttercream. Refrigerate the cake until it sets up (this makes it possible to cut neat slices), at least 4 hours up to overnight. Sprinkle the top with peanut brittle before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Steps:

• MAKE THE CAKE: Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
• Line the bottoms of 2 9x2-inch round cake pans with rounds of parchment paper.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium speed about 45 seconds, until the mixture is lighter in color.
• Add the sugar in a steady stream, then stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Return the mixer to medium speed and beat, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until the mixture is very light in color and texture, 4-5 minutes.
• Gradually pour in the eggs, about 1 tablespoon at a time.
• (If the mixture looks curdled, stop adding the eggs, increase speed to high, and beat until it looks smooth and shiny. Return mixer to medium speed and add the remaining eggs.) Continue beating until the mixture is ivory colored.
• The entire process of adding and beating the eggs should take 3-4 minutes.
• Reduce mixer speed to low.
• Add the flour mixture in 4 additions, alternating with 3 additions of the milk.
• After each addition, beat until smooth and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add the vanilla toward the end of mixing.
• Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pans.
• Bake until the tops spring back when the cakes are lightly pressed in the centers and a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 30-35 minutes.
• Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes; invert onto wire racks and cool completely.
• MAKE THE GANACHE: Heat the cream in a small saucepan over low heat just until warm.
• Add the peanut butter and whisk to blend.
• Place the white chocolate in a medium bowl and pour the warm cream on top.
• Let stand for 1 minute, then stir until melted and smooth.
• Let stand at room temperature until cooled, thick, and spreadable, about 1 hour.
• Using a long, serrated knife, cut each cake layer in half horizontally.
• The tops will become the bottom and top of the cake, and the remaining layers will become the center.
• Place a dab of ganache in the center of an 8 1/2" cardboard cake round.
• Place a cake layer, top side down, on the cardboard.
• Spread with 3 tablespoons jam, spreading to the edges.
• Top with another layer and spread with 3 tablespoons ganache, spreading to the edges.
• Top with the remaining layer, top side up.
• Frost with remaining ganache.
• Place the chopped peanuts in a jelly-roll pan.
• Hold the cake in one hand directly over the pan and tilt the cake slightly.
• With the other hand, pick up some of the peanuts and press them into the sides of the cake.
• Rotate the cake as you apply the peanuts until the sides are completely covered.
• Using a clean metal spatula, press the peanuts into the ganache to make them more fully adhere.
• (The cake can be stored at room temperature, under a cake dome, for 1 day.) No more than 1 hour before serving, starting at the edge of the top of the cake, arrange the strawberry slices in concentric circles until the surface is covered.

Steps:

• TO MAKE THE CAKE: Place 1 oven rack in the top third of the oven and the second in the bottom third. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line three 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper rounds, grease with butter or cooking spray, dust the pans with flour, and knock out the excess.
• Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the 1 cup butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs all at once and beat on medium speed until combined. In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir the 2 teaspoons vanilla into the milk. Add the flour mixture and milk in alternating batches, beginning and ending with flour. After each addition, mix on low speed just to combine the ingredients. Stir in the peanut butter chips.
• Divide the cake batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Set 2 layers on the top rack and the third on the lower rack. Stagger the cake layers on the oven racks so that no layer is directly over another. Bake until the cake is golden, firm to the touch, and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Monitor the layers carefully for doneness; each one may be done at a different time. Cool the layers in their pans about 10 minutes; unmold onto wire racks to cool completely.
• TO MAKE THE FROSTING: Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the 1 cup butter and peanut butter on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the powdered sugar, cream, and the 2 teaspoons vanilla and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 more minutes.
• TO ASSEMBLE THE CAKE: Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate and spread the top with half of the jam. Repeat with a second layer. Stack the final cake layer on top of the first 2 and cover the cake's top and sides with frosting. Press the chopped peanuts around the sides of the frosted cake.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8-inch square baking pans with baking spray. Line the bottom of each pan with a square piece of parchment paper. Spray parchment with baking spray, then flour each parchment-lined pan, shaking away any excess flour.
• Whisk cake flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Combine sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture, alternately with the milk, with the mixer running on low speed, beginning and ending with the flour.
• Beat egg whites in a clean mixing bowl at medium speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into the batter. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes tests clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cakes in the pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn cakes out onto the wire rack. Remove parchment paper and cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Working on one at a time, transfer cakes to a large cutting board or work surface. Trim the golden brown, rounded top off of each cake using a large serrated knife. Slice each cake in half horizontally to yield 4 slices.
• Prepare the filling: beat peanut butter, cream cheese, honey, butter, and salt together at medium speed until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until smooth. Beat in milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. The peanut butter mixture should be loose enough to be spreadable.
• Place jelly in a small mixing bowl and whisk to loosen.
• Carefully transfer one cake layer to a cake plate or serving platter. Gently spread 1/3 of the peanut butter mixture over the cake, spreading all the way to the edges. Spread 1/3 of the jelly over the peanut butter layer. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat with peanut butter filling and jelly. Repeat with the third layer, remaining filling and jelly. Place the final cake layer on top, trimmed side up. Slice diagonally for a sandwich effect.
