Get in my belly!!
The best food duo
What is it about chocolate and peanut butter that make it so good together? Truth is, pair anything with chocolate and it’s phenomenal. My husband eats it with bread sometimes… ya, I know.
Not the Nutella spreadable chocolate kind. Nope.
I make my peanut butter cups (a fave on NDNC!) all the time, so re-imagining this dessert totally made sense. In fact, it’s a “took you long enough to make this, Laila!!” situation.
What it is
You’re looking at a base of fudgy-brownie-decadent-dark chocolate cake, combined with the most incredible, and incredibly delicious and healthy, whipped pb frosting.
This dessert is completely naturally sweetened – from top to bottom and everywhere in between. Which means that you can have a square or two and not feel terrible or guilty about doing so.
The only thing I wished I did was to make pb cups to add on top of the cake!! I remembered this after I wrapped up its photo sesh. So if you want to jazz this cake up even more then make the cups, break them in half or quarters, and add them on top of each square… you can thank me later :)

- 15 squares
Ingredients
1 Bowl Chocolate Sheet Cake
Whipped PB Frosting
Instructions
1 Bowl Chocolate Sheet Cake
- 1Preheat oven to 350F and have a 9"x12" pan lightly greased and dusted with cocoa powder and/or lined with parchment paper. Set aside.
- 2In a large bowl, sift together: flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to incorporate.
- 3Next, add: honey, oil, coffee, milk, and vinegar, and continue whisking until fully combined. Batter may be thinner/runny in consistency. That's good!
- 4Pour batter in prepared pan and place in the oven to bake for approximately 55 minutes, or until the edges have pulled away from the pan and a toothpick or knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- 5Remove and allow to cool completely before you add the whipped pb frosting.
Whipped Peanut Butter Frosting
- 1While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a stand or hand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together all the ingredients on high until frosting is light and fluffy. About 5 minutes.
- 2Place bowl in the fridge to cool - at least 20-30 minutes.
- 3When the cake is ready to be frosted, remove bowl from the fridge and give it another quick whisking, approx. 30 seconds to 1 minute. Spread that silky whipped deliciousness on the cake and enjoy the best and healthiest frosting EVER!!!!!
Notes
This frosting is incredibly delicious. To ensure that it whips beautifully, make sure you follow the directions as instructed. Also, having a cold bowl and cold peanut butter will help create the perfect consistency and make it easier to whip. Make sure your coconut oil isn't melted because you won't achieve the whipped consistency. It'll be a goopy mess! You also don't want to start with cold coconut oil either because that'll leave clumps in your frosting... not good! Coconut oil should be stored at room temp - it doesn't need refrigeration.
