I wanted to surprise him with a chocolate cake that will be quick and easy and incorporate peanut butter (his favourite). So I scoured the Internet and found a quick but yummy sounding cake. I thought I would share it with you cause it's one of those quick and easy, just in case you forgot birthday cakes or for any event.
This recipe is from the lovely Bakerella who created the cake pop and also the reason I decided to write this blog =]

Ingredients
- 1 devil’s food cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups chopped peanut butter cups (plus more for garnishing – I used 2 bags)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat two 9-inch cake pans with non-stick cooking spray. Line with wax paper and coat paper.
- In a large bowl, beat cake mix, eggs, buttermilk and vegetable oil on low for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for 2 minutes. Scrape down sides after 1 minute. Fold in 2 cups of the chopped peanut butter cups.
- Pour batter into pans and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool cakes completely.
- 8 oz. dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
To Assemble
- Trim each cake layer so the tops are flat. Place one layer on a cooling rack and pour 1 cup frosting on top. Spread evenly with a spatula. Add second layer and pour remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Smooth out with spatula.
- Allow frosting to set for a minute and gently press remaining chopped peanut butter cup pieces all over top and sides of cake. Place in refrigerator for about an hour to set. Remove and serve.
The best thing about this recipe is that it doesn't have to be peanut butter cups, it be a chocolate that you love or the person receiving loves. I'm using snickers cause it's my boyfriends favourite
I hope you enjoy as always
