Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10- or 12-cup bundt pan thoroughly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
Add sour cream and milk, mixing until smooth.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Spoon dollops of jelly over the batter and swirl gently with a knife or spatula.
Top with the remaining batter and smooth the surface.
Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze, and garnish with chopped peanuts if desired.

Notes

Try different jams like raspberry, apricot, or blackberry for variety.A peanut butter glaze enhances both flavor and presentation.Use almond or sunflower butter for an allergy-friendly twist.Swirling the jelly creates a pretty marbled effect—layering gives more concentrated flavor pockets.Store well-wrapped at room temperature or refrigerate if glazed.
