Ingredients
- 1 recipe Perfect Chocolate Cake or just use a box cake mix
for the peanut butter frosting-
- 1/2 cup softened, unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter not all natural! Use skippy or jif
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk*
- pinch of salt
- regular size and mini peanut butter cups
- chocolate sauce for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Make whichever chocolate cake recipe you'd like for this recipe and cool completely to room temperature.
- For the frosting, stir softened butter and peanut butter together. Add in vanilla, powdered sugar and salt. This mixture should slowly start to come together and be very crumbly/thick. That's your cue to add in the milk!
- Slowly drizzle in 1 tablespoon milk to create a thick frosting. Add in more or less depending on the consistency you're going for. Once it's smooth, thick and creamy, it's ready to use.
- Place one round chocolate cake on a serving platter. Spread a skinny layer of frosting over cake, pushing extras to the edges. Top with second cake and frost cake completely with remaining frosting. It should be the perfect amount!
- Garnish with ridiculous amounts of peanut butter cups and drizzle edges with chocolate sauce. Serve as you like.
