It's Day #3 of I Like Big Bundts 2! I'm writing this Monday night and I'm tired. Long weekend. So, I'll just give you the facts.

Peanut Butter. Chocolate. Bundt. Candy. Together.

Peanut Butter-Sour Cream Bundt Cake with Butterfinger Ganache Glaze - I Like Big Bundts 2010
This is from the cookbook, Cake Keeper Cakes by Lauren Chattman (page 130). I've made the Orange-Ricotta Pound Cake Bundt earlier this year and it is a winner.

I was unable to taste this cake (long story) but someone said it was good. Give it a try and let me know!

Chopped Butterfinger tops this cake. Bart Simpson would like it.

Peanut Butter-Sour Cream Bundt Cake with Butterfinger Ganache Glaze
Adapted from: Cake Keeper Cakes by Lauren Chattman (page 130)

1 c sour cream
3 large eggs
2 t vanilla
2 1/4 c all-purpose flour
1 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/2 c (1 stick) butter, softened
1 c smooth peanut butter
1 1/2 c light brown sugar

1. Preheat over to 350. Prep a 12-cup Bundt pan.
2. Whisk sour cream, eggs, and vanilla in measuring cup.
3. Whisk together flour, baking powder & soda, and salt in a bowl.
4. Using the paddle attachment, cream butter, peanut butter and brown sugar until fluffy (3-4 minutes). Scape down the sides.
5. With mixer on low, alternate 1/3 dry ingredients with the 1/2 sour cream mix; beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Scape down the sides of the bowl. Turn mixer onto medium-high and beat for 1 minute.
6. Put into Bundt. Bake for 40-45 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes then invert onto cookie sheet until completely cool.

The book has a Glaze recipe of 8 oz semi or bittersweet chocolate, 2 T butter, 3/4 c heavy cream. However, I still had ganache leftover from Day #2's Bundt so I melted that down and poured it over this cake!

One chopped Butterfinger bar is sprinkled over the glaze/ganache. Let cake set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
