Instructions
Honey Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees

- In a medium sized mixing bowl or using your stand mixer, beat batter completely. For about five minutes.
- With mixer on medium speed, slowly add sugar and mix completely.
- Add one egg at a time and mix.
- Alternately add flour and milk to mixture and mix after each addition with mixer on low.
- Add honey, vanilla and almond extract and mix together.
- Divide batter into three different bowls. Set honey batter aside.
Peanut Butter Pound Cake
- Grab the bowl of batter you have set aside to use for the peanut butter cake batter and add three tablespoons of Jif Peanut Powder and mix completely. Be sure to give it a taste and make sure it’s just the right amount of peanut butter for you. If batter seems a little thick, add one teaspoon of water at a time until you get desired consistency.
- Set aside
Chocolate Pound Cake
- Grab the batter, you’ll be using to make the chocolate pound cake batter.
- Add cocoa powder and mix together.
- Be sure to give it a good taste you’ll want to add more or less depending on how much batter you decide to use for the chocolate part of the cake.
- Pour ½ of the honey pound cake batter into your prepared pan.
- Add all of the peanut butter batters by putting spoonful around the pan
- Do the same thing with the chocolate batter.
- Using a knife, swirl batters together.
- Add the remaining honey batter and swirl together using knife one more time if you like.
- Bake for forty-five minutes or until toothpick done.
- Allow the pan to cool for about ten minutes, then flip it over so the cake can slowly fall out as it cools.
- Allow to cool to a touch before adding Peanut Butter Glaze.
Peanut Butter Glaze
- In a medium sized mixing bowl combine powdered sugar, peanut butter, milk and mix completely. You can make the glaze thicker by adding more powdered sugar and thinner by adding more milk at a time until you reach the desired thickness.
- Pour or drizzle the desired amount of peanut butter glaze over the pound cake and allow it to harden.
Chocolate Drizzle
- Melt chocolate chips.
- Place melted chocolate in a frosting bag and cut the tip off. Make a line on a paper towel using the chocolate drizzle to test the glaze before applying to cake. Once you are happy with how the glaze comes out apply to cake.
Notes
You may need to add a little extra water if cake batter seems to thick. If you do this only have one teaspoon at a time until you reach desired consistency.
