  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spray a 9X13X2 in pan with cooking spray and dust with flour. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the cocoa, confectioners' sugar, butter and 2 tablespoons hot water until smooth and set aside.
  • In microwavable bowl, place peanut butter chips and shortening.
  • Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until chips are melted and smooth when stirred.
  • In large bowl, combine cake mix, brown sugar, 1-1/4 cups water, eggs and reserved melted peanut butter mixture; beat on low speed of electric mixer until moistened. Increase speed to medium, beat 2 minutes until smooth. Remove 1-1/2 cups of the batter and add it to the reserved cocoa mixture; blend well.
  • Pour the peanut butter flavored batter into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate batter on top. Swirl with a knife or spatula for a marbled effect.
  • Bake at 350 degree F (175 degrees C) for 40 to 45 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool and frost as desired.

  1. My dh and I thought this was good, but not worth making again considering the length of time it took to mix it up. It wasn't bad or anything, just not as fantastic as I had expected. I frosted it with half a recipe of peanut butter cream cheese frosting with my grandma's hot fudge sauce cut through the frosting.

Hi Everyone! I have just changed my image here on 'zaar. The big bird in the pic is none other than me, BirdyBaker. It was from Halloween 04. I made the costume myself and it was so much fun!. I am a highschool student and I love photography,painting crafts and everything else artistic. I LOVE to write, anything, from essays to fiction to poetry. It's so much fun! I also am very interested in Asian culture and want to work in Japan someday. I have a passion for cooking and try to cook as much as I can, trying to make a different dish each time. I am just crazy over my 3 birds, George Arthur, Bailey and Jazzy, hence the name "BirdyBaker"...lol
