2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips

Cake
1) Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray 10-cup bundt pan generously with nonstick spray.
2) In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together peanut butter and butter. Add sugar and beat an additional 5 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until well combined. Add dry ingredients a little at a time, beating just until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips. 3) Scrape batter into prepared bundt pan. Tap it a couple of times on the counter to shake out any hidden air pockets.
4) Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a skewer, sharp knife, or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Check on the cake at 5) 1 hour to make sure it’s not browning too quickly on top. If it is, just place a piece of foil loosely over the top of the pan. Let the cake cool for 20 minutes, then flip it onto a rack or platter and let it cool completely.
