Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Position a rack in the center. Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan or spray it with baking spray that contains flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 1 cup softened salted butter, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed light brown sugar until light and creamy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add the 5 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Beat in 1 tablespoon vanilla extract until combined.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.
  6. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the batter in three additions, alternating with the 1 cup milk (beginning and ending with the flour). Beat just until each addition is incorporated; do not overmix.
  7. Fold 1 cup mini chocolate chips into the batter with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
  8. Transfer the batter to the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto the rack or a serving platter and let it cool completely before frosting.
  10. To make the icing, beat 1/4 cup softened salted butter and 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter together until smooth.
  11. Add 2 cups confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon milk and beat until smooth. Add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time (using a total of 3 to 4 tablespoons if needed), until the frosting is thin enough to spread.
  12. Spread the frosting evenly over the completely cooled cake. Allow the frosting to set briefly before slicing and serving.
