#1749 - Peanut Butter Marble Cake

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 box Duncan Hines fudge marble cake mix (do NOT mix according to box directions)
1 cup water + 2 TBSP water
1/3 cup canola oil + 2 TBSP canola oil
3 eggs
1 cup Reese's peanut butter chips

In a mixer add cake mix, water, 1 cup water canola oil and eggs--beat until mixed, then beat on high for 2 minutes. In a separate bowl add the chocolate packet from the cake box, 1 cup of the batter from the mixer, and 2 TBSP water--stir with a spoon until mixed, then set aside. In a microwave safe bowl add peanut butter chips and 2 TBSP oil--microwave on high until melted--stir until mixed. Add the melted peanut butter mixture to the batter in the mixer--beat until mixed. Pour the cake batter into a greased 9 x 13 cake pan. Randomly scoop globs of the chocolate mixture on to the top of the batter--use a table knife to marble the chocolate mixture through the cake batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes--test with a toothpick for doneness. Cool completely. Frost as desired.
