1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoons salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

FOR THE CHOCOLATE GANACHE:
6 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream

6 peanut butter cups, chopped


DIRECTIONS:

  1. Start by baking the cake.  Preheat the oven to 350°F.  Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.  Whisk in the cocoa powder and salt.  Once butter is fully melted, remove from heat and pour in the buttermilk, whisking until all ingredients are combined.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking soda.  Add the melted butter and cocoa powder mixture, pouring slowly and whisking continuously until combined.  The resulting batter will be quite thick.  Add in the eggs, one at a time, whisking until completely blended.  Add in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
