Cooking Utensils Needed 

 Mixer

Measuring Cup/Spoons

Greased 9x13 inch baking pan

1 medium size bowl and one Large size bowl 

Prep

Preheat oven to 350

Grease your 9x13 inch baking Pan

Peanut Butter Mixture

6 ounces of cream cheese(Softened)

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup sugar

1 egg

2 tablespoons milk

In a medium size bowl add your cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, egg, and milk. You'll need to beat all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth. Set the bowl aside because you need this after you finish your brownie mixture.

For this recipe I used my favorite peanut butter, White Chocolate Wonderful by Peanut Butter & Co that I purchased from my local Walmart.I swear this is the best peanut butter ever!

Brownie Mixture

3/4 Cup of butter (softened)

2.5 cups of sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 eggs

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

In your large bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, and vanilla. Mix in the 3 eggs, beating well.  

 

  

Finally add the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Mix into the chocolate batter.

Remove 1 cup of the chocolate batter to use to create the marble effect. Take the remaining batter and spread it into the greased pan.

Spread the peanut butter filling over the top of the chocolate mixture. 

Drop the left over chocolate mixture by the teaspoonful over the peanut butter filling. 

Using a knife, gently swirl through the top layers for a marbled effect but try not to mix it so much.

Finally you need to put your pan in the oven and let it bake for 30-40 minutes, certain oven times vary. To test whether its done you can insert a wooden toothpick near the center. If it comes out almost clean then its done. ENJOY♥

Food 4 Thought: Yummy Sour Cream Pound Cake

One of my favorite things that I absolutely love to do is bake, especially for others!! Its like therapy for me. It was like 12 midnight and i just was having one of the nights so I decided 2 make a cake, LOL This Cake is delicious and super easy 2 make. Enjoy!

Ingredients

3 Cups of Sugar
2 sticks of Butter (1 Cup)
1 Cup of Sour Cream
3 Cups of All Purpose Flour or Cake Flour
1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda
6 Eggs
1 teaspoon of Vanilla

First you'll need to preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. You'll also need a bundt pan that needs to be greased and lightly floured. Try to have either toothpicks or wooden skewers on hand.

In a large bowl, you'll need to cream the butter and sugar together. It's easier to mix if you let your butter get a little soft. Add the sour cream into the mixture and mix it together.

Next you'll need a sifter. If you don't have one, you can purchase it at Walmart. It's really simple to use. You'll need to sift together the flour and the baking soda.

Next you will need to add each egg, beating each egg one at a time to cream mixture alternating with the flour.

Once you are done mixing the eggs and flour, add the vanilla, then pour it into the pan that you greased and lightly dusted with flour. Stick it in the oven

It takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to bake, depending on your oven. If you think its done, you can check by inserting the skewer. If it comes out with wet batter or a lot of crumbs it may need 2 cook a little bit more...Happy Baking♥♥♥♥♥ 

Food For Thought:: Homemade Fried Doughnut Holes♥

I was a little bored 2day, so I decided to make some homemade doughnuts. This w as my first time making these and they came out okay. Its really simple to make. I got the recipe from cook.com. Here’s the ingredients you’ll need.

1/3 c. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1 egg
2 tbsp. melted vegetable shortening
1 1/2 c. flour
2 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Cooking Oil for deep frying

First you just mix all the ingredients together. Heat your oil. You need to make sure it’s hot enough or they will come out greasy.

Once the oil is hot enough, you should start adding the mixture in the pot of oil. You should add spoonfuls one at a time.




They will cook pretty fast, so you need to watch closely to their color. Once they start to turn brown, you should take them out and place them on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.

You can cover them will cinnamon sugar, or just plain sugar. I used confectioners’ sugar. They are better if eaten right after cooking. ENJOY!
