Peanut Butter and Jam Bundt Cake – A scrumptiously moist and fluffy peanut butter flavoured bundt cake swirled with a strawberry jam filling!

Anyone a peanut butter and jam fan? *raises both hands*
Well, if you’re anything like me, you are going to love today’s recipe. I bring you my Peanut Butter and Jam Bundt Cake. A deliciously moist and fluffy bundt cake loaded with peanut butter flavour, filled with strawberry jam, and topped with a sweet glaze!
Ingredients for Peanut Butter and Jam Bundt Cake:
- cake flour (see recipe notes on how to make your own!)
- baking powder
- baking soda
- salt
- large eggs
- caster/granulated sugar
- vanilla extract
- unsalted butter
- greek-style yogurt
- smooth peanut butter
- strawberry jam
For the glaze, you’ll need:
- icing/powdered sugar
- vanilla extract
- milk
A super quick and easy cake recipe – no mixer required. All you’ll need is two bowls and a whisk! Simply combine the dry ingredients in one bowl, then combine the wet ingredients in the other.
Combine the two mixtures together, and pour half of the batter into a bundt pan. Spoon the jam over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top.
You’ll bake this cake for 45 – 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto your favourite cake stand or serving plate where you’ll allow the cake to cool completely before glazing.
Once cooled, top with a sweet glaze, then slice and serve!

Allow to cool completely, then cover tightly and keep in the fridge until ready to glaze and serve. This cake also freezes well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

Hi, I recently just made this and I made sure I had all the exact ingredients and followed step by step. But when I started mixing in the dry ingredients the mixture started becoming incredibly dry, so dry that it felt as if I was making dough. I had to add a bit of milk since my hand felt like it was about to fall off and even then it was still super dense, and I didn’t wanna add anymore since I didn’t want to deviate from your resipe. Do you have any idea why this happened? Thank you and I think the idea of the is great.

Hi Cinthya, I'm sorry you're having trouble with my recipe. My cake batters are normally on the thick side, but never too thick that it's almost dough-like. It does sound to me like too much flour. Did you weigh your flour out in grams or did you use cups?
For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements. Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough.
I hope this helps.
