Peanut Butter Sour Cream Bundt



I stumbled upon the Food Librarian's website the other day and noted that she was doing a segment called "I Like Big Bundts" where she makes a new bundt cake every day. What a great idea! I LOVE bundts! So please don't be surprised if there are many bundt cakes in the next month as there are so many great ideas for them on her site!

The first bundt I tried was this Peanut Butter Sour Cream Bundt. I have been slightly obsessed with nut butters lately, so this cake just jumped out of the computer at me. I loved how moist and melt-in-your-mouth this cake was. And the chocolate sauce really completed the ever favorite peanut butter and chocolate combo.
