Step-by-Step Instructions
Making this gooey melt cake is a piece of cake—pun intended! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking dish to prevent any sticking. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Oh, how delightful the scent of the cocoa is when you mix it in! It’s like a warm hug for your senses. Once combined, make a well in the center and add the milk, melted butter, peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until you have a smooth batter that’s rich and inviting.
