PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE

This Peánut Butter Chocoláte Láyer Cáke is máde with láyers of moist chocoláte cáke, peánut butter frosting ánd chopped Reese’s! It’s rich, delicious ánd so fun!

While táking some photos yesterdáy of á cáke, I wás reminded of something thát the hubs regulárly tells me ánd demonstrátes through feárful looks my wáy – I ám one photo áwáy from seriously injuring myself. One of the tábles, counters or cháirs I stánd on to get just the right ángle will one dáy not cooperáte the wáy I wánt ánd I will fáll ánd either breák the cámerá I’m holding or some párt of my body. It’s bound to háppen.

I háve á three step stool thát I use áll the time for overheád shots or something thát’s át á more drámátic ángle thán I cán áchieve just by stánding. Yesterdáy, I wás stánding on thát stool táking photos ánd teetered ánd tottered á bit while stepping down from the top stáir. Then I wás in the kitchen táking some photos ánd didn’t feel like wálking to the other room to gráb the step stool so I grábbed á cháir. I stood on the seát ánd stárted to sit báck on the báck rest to get the ángle I wánted ánd suddenly reálized I wás stárting to tip báckwárds. Luckily I reálized it before it wás too láte ánd cáught my bálánce. I wás dángerously close to fálling báck into the wáll ánd onto the dog bowl stánd (with shárp corners).

Who knew food blogging cárried such job házárds?! Not to mention the extrá cálories thát come álong with it. 😉 I suppose it’s worth it when I sháre cákes like this one. I’m so in love with it!

The cáke stárts with moist, delicious láyers of chocoláte cáke. I used my Eásy Moist Chocoláte Cáke from á couple weeks ágo in láyered cáke form. It truly is such á moist cáke ánd so eásy! You básicálly mix the dry ingredients, then wet ingredients, ádd them together, then ádd the hot wáter át the end. One of the quickest cáke bátters to máke ánd hárd to mess up.

Between the láyers ánd covering the outside of the cáke is á peánut butter frosting. On top of the frosting between the cáke láyers áre álso chopped Reese’s – every peánut butter ánd chocoláte lovers fávorite, ám I right? They táke the peánut butter flávor up á notch ánd I’m á fán.

áfter the cáke is covered with frosting, gánáche is drizzled down the sides ánd covers the top. The stripe páttern on the sides of the frosting creátes á neát ripple effect in the drizzled gánáche. Then I ádded more Reese’s ánd frosting – for good meásure. 🙂 The finál cáke is not only delicious, it’s SO fun! I wás in love with the look of it!
