Notes
1️⃣ Use High-Quality Chocolate – Since chocolate is the star ingredient, opt for a premium dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) for a rich, deep flavor. Cheap chocolate can result in a less indulgent taste.
2️⃣ Don’t Overbake – The cake should have a slightly fudgy center. Start checking for doneness at the 25-minute mark. Overbaking will make it dry instead of moist and gooey.
3️⃣ Swirling Technique Matters – When adding peanut butter, gently swirl it with a knife. Avoid overmixing, as you want distinct chocolate and peanut butter layers for the best visual and flavor contrast.
