A chocolate bundt cake with peanut butter cheesecake filling sits on a white plate. Th cake is topped with peanut butter ganache and drizzles of chocolate ganache. Peanut butter oreos are arranged vertically on the top of the cake so that each slice will have an oreo. Several slices have been removed from the front of the cake revealing the moist chocolate cake and the band of peanut butter cheesecake filling at the top.

I’m attending blogging conferences this week. Trying to make sense of all the things that make blogs work with Google, Facebook, Pinterest, video (yes, I’ve got some of those in the works) and more. Since taking over for Joan 18 months ago, I still feel like I’m swimming in the deep end.

I’m also having some remodeling done at my house. It’s an old house and my kitchen is about the ugliest thing on the planet. Seriously. When I moved into my house, everything (and I really mean everything) was pink and green. My kitchen had pink tile, pink blinds, pink laminate counter tops, pink cabinets and even a pink GE cooktop from 1958.

A slice of peanut butter cheesecake filled chocolate bundt cake sits on a white plate. The cut side reveals astrip of pale brown peanut butter cheesecake filling that starts at the top of the slice and runs along the right side of the cake about halfway down. The cake is topped with peanut butter ganache and swirls of chocolate ganache and a single oreo.

I’ve gradually been getting rid of the pink. It started with the tile which is now almond colored. Then I tossed the blinds. I painted my cabinets a dark blue and replaced the 1970’s hardware with art deco nickel. I’ve been saving my money for granite counter tops so I still have those awful pink laminate countertops and the cooktop.

I’ve found a contractor who’s going to knock out the cabinets over the cooktop and replace my vent hood. Did I mention the vent hood is an awful beige and is propped up with a stick because my teenage son broke it? He’s also going to move my refrigerator and build some new cabinets at the other end of my kitchen.

All this means my kitchen is likely going to be out of commission for a while so I made a bunch of desserts ahead of time to share with you.

A few months ago I found some peanut butter oreos in our local HEB (grocery store here in Texas). They inspired me to make this Peanut Butter Cheesecake Filled Chocolate Bundt Cake.  How can you go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate?
