Ingredients

Directions

  1. Grease a 7-inch round microwave-safe pan with solid shortening or cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped peanuts, brown sugar, wheat germ, and cinnamon to create the streusel topping.
  3. Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan and set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, water, oil, dairy sour cream, egg, and egg yolk.
  5. Beat the mixture with a spoon for about 75 strokes, or until it is well blended and smooth.
  6. Pour approximately half of the batter (about 1 cup) over the streusel layer in the pan.
  7. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of finely chopped peanuts and peanut butter chips evenly over the batter.
  8. Pour the remaining batter over the filling layer to cover it completely.
  9. Microwave the cake on high power for 4 to 5 minutes.
  10. Check for doneness: the top should no longer have wet spots, and the cake should pull away from the sides of the pan.
  11. If the cake is not done, continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until cooked through.
  12. Immediately invert the hot cake onto a serving plate.
  13. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
