PEANUT BUTTER-CHOCOLATE CHIP CRUMB CAKE

MAKES ONE 13x9x2-INCH CAKE, APPROXIMATELY 24 SERVINGS

I forgot I had this recipe until I found it on my old computer. It is very good and relatively easy. If you can get good quality double-chocolate chips, do so. The flavor is more intense and not quite as sweet.

INGREDIENTS

2-1/4 cups all purpose flour

2 cups lightly packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup milk

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

6 ounces (1 cup) semi-sweet or double-chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350° F. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Add the peanut butter and butter; blend at low speed until crumbly. Remove 1 cup of the crumbs; set aside. To the remaining crumbs add milk, eggs and vanilla. Blend at low speed until moistened. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed or until smooth. Pour batter into ungreased 13x9x2 cake pan. Sprinkle batter with chocolate chips and reserved 1 cup of crumbs. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven. Cool on rack. Cut into squares.
