Peanut Butter and Jelly Bundt Cake ~ #BundtBakers

What's better than a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich?  A Peanut Butter and Jelly 

Bundt Cake that will take you back to your childhood as you savor each bite.

The theme chosen for Bundt Bakers for May 2022 is Jam Bundts. You know what goes really well with jam/jelly?  Peanut Butter!  So I decided to make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Bundt Cake.

I grew up in Australia where peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were not a thing at all - Vegemite reigned supreme. Of course, after living in the US for so long, I am totally a fan of the this sweet and savory combination. Peanut Butter and banana is another favorite.

This cake has a wonderfully tender crumb from the use of cake flour and it is nice and moist from the use of yogurt.  You could go with a plain glaze for the top, but I could not resist using a little more peanut flavor, which I actually achieved by adding PB Fit Peanut Butter Powder to the powdered sugar. The recipe calls for strawberry or raspberry jam, but I had a jar of razzleberry jam already opened so I used that instead, and it was delicious. I will definitely be making this bundt again.

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 225g (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
• 240g (1 cup) Greek-style yogurt, room temperature

Preparation

Cake ~

1. Preheat the oven to 180℃ (350℉).

1. Whisk together the icing sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Add more milk if too thick, or more icing sugar if too runny.
