Low sugar version of a chocolate peanut butter Bundt cake is moist and delicious.
Low Sugar Chocolate Peanut Butter Bundt Cake
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Hi everybody! It’s time for #BundtBakers, and once again I am hosting (although I didn’t get my cake made last month). The theme this month is the ever-popular CHOCOLATE! Because, who doesn’t love that?
And in my case, even on a diet…
And since hubby is going to pony up and diet with me, I can’t exactly pawn all of it off on him and his friends. Not that I don’t trust him, but I just don’t trust him. Once he did Weight Watchers with me while slipping away secretly to visit Dairy Queen. He’s a regular smartie, isn’t he?
I don’t usually work out the nutrition info on recipes for you, but I have today. So when I say “Low Sugar” and you ask “How Low”? There it is. You can compare this versus other chocolate peanut butter cakes and see for yourself. I don’t usually diet with a calculator in hand, but as a diabetic, it did not spike my BS. As for your own particular diet, you will have to discover if it works for you.

I love that peanut crunch on the bundt.
I picked this recipe to make for my bestfriends birthday, as she requested a chocolate peanut butter cake. This cake was moist, chocolatey and peanutbuttery, as promised. I also added, Tartacadabra’s coconut macaroon filling and topped the peanut frosting with a drizzle of her chocolate ganache and one extra egg to the chocolate cake batter.
The cake was over-the-top, spectacularly delicious! Just as a Birthday Cake should be. Aside from its slight asymmetricalness.
I admit that I’m a novice at bundt cake baking. My only issue? Is my bundt cake didn’t release completely from the pan. 🙁
I used pam cooking spray to coat my pan. I let the cake cool the 15-20 min, after which, I inverted the cake. The cake partially fell out, when I did this. I was able to salvage it & the sugar-free peanut butter crunch frosting covered the the uneven missing edges. The cake was only slightly uneven.
So, any helpful tricks or advise to help me keep my future bundt cakes hanging altogether, in one big cake?

I use Baker’s Release spray on my pans. It has flour added to it so comes out like doing a grease/flour. Using just the pam spray doesn’t work for me. Although Pam does have a baker’s spray version in the blue can. Don’t use the yellow can or the cake will stick.
Made the cake for my hubby’s birthday and it was delicious! We were all pleasantly surprised. We didn’t make the peanut butter frosting though. However, do you think I could use non-natural peanut butter instead?
Thanks so much!
If you are counting carbs, you will need to watch the sugar content, but as peanut butters go in general, any type will work.
