Wowza! This is an amazing cake & believe it or not it's made with sauerkraut! Yes, you heard me right, sauerkraut. I had fun making this cake today because by sheer determination I wanted to trick my husband into eating some "kraut" (which he hates, by the way). The aroma of the peanut butter had him drooling & he couldn't wait to have a slice. I brought him a slice, he tasted it & then devoured it and said "Wow, this is amazing"! It took me 4X telling him the secret ingredient before he believed me! He kept saying, "you did not!" It's a sneaky way to get someone to eat kraut. LOL

How to Make Peanut Butter Chip Cake
- In a large bowl, add all your ingredients except the chocolate chips. Beat with an electric mixer till well blended. (This batter is thick) Once mixed fold in the 1/2 of mini chocolate chips.
Next spread your mixture into a well greased and floured 10 X 15 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. - Let cake cool for 1/2 hour or longer before frosting.
Prepare your frosting and spread over the top of cake. It will make just enough frosting. - Add your chocolate chips and peanuts to the top.
- Slice into squares and serve.
Oh, ran out of room in the story telling part but this is not my recipe. I found it on the internet and printed it out. I thought I saved the link but didn't. When I search and find it again, I will post the site where I got it. Whoever, came up with this recipe did an outstanding job!!!
Oh, and this is more of a dense cake and holds it own. It serves up like a brownie and chewy like it has coconut in it. The peanut butter flavor is incredible and the little mini chips are a must. They really bring something to it. I didn't have the peanuts to put on top but I am sure they will add yet more depth to this wonderful cake. I really hope you try it. :-)
