My nana used to make it and thankfully I saved her recipe

Peanut Butter Chocolate Gooey Butter Cake is one of those delightful desserts that hits all the right notes—rich, decadent, and incredibly satisfying. This cake is a fun and indulgent twist on the classic gooey butter cake, which originated in St. Louis, Missouri. If you’re a fan of peanut butter and chocolate (and let’s be honest, who isn’t?), then this cake is calling your name. It’s perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon treat, a potluck with friends, or a special family gathering. Trust me, once you take a bite, you’ll understand why this cake is worth a bit of extra time in the kitchen.
This gooey butter cake is quite rich, so it’s best paired with something light and refreshing. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream are classic choices, but fresh berries or a simple fruit salad would also be lovely. If you’re serving this at a gathering, some hot coffee or a glass of cold milk on the side can balance the sweetness perfectly.
