PEANUT BUTTER CAKE/CHOCOLATE MOCHA FROSTING
A pairing of Peanut Butter, Chocolate and Coffee. What's not to like? I didn't take my lawyer to the store with me to read the fine print so I ended up carrying home Chunky Peanut Butter rather than Smooth, which I prefer. Life's plumb full of surprises. Alas, the Chunks didn't spoil the cake a bit. It turned out to be a moist bit of goodness. Chalk up another successful experiment.

Steps:
- In a large bowl combine the cake mix, peanut butter, eggs, vegetable oil, butter and water. Stir and mix and combine all well.
- Pour into a lightly oiled 9" by 13" cake pan. Bake per package instructions until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. (My package called for 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes, and worked well).
- Remove from oven and allow cake to cool completely.
- For The Frosting: In a large bowl combine and mix well the Cream Cheese, Butter, Cocoa, and Powdered Sugar and Instant Coffee. (I used a hand mixer for this). (Add milk a little at a time if needed to thin out slightly).
- Spread frosting over cake and smooth out. (A sprinkle of Chopped Walnuts on top is optional). If you are fortunate enough to have Black Walnuts, they would be the Crowning Glory.
- Cooks Note: It got 'et up!! Prepared this for our get together at the local pup for the Super Bowl Game. Also supplied the crew with my "Braggin' Rights Chili" which see.
- Reluctant Note: After preparing the cake and pouring it into the 9" by 13" pan, I realized the batter was exceptionally stiff. Then I realized I had forgot to add the water. So, out from the pan and back into the mixing bowl, and an additional clean up of the pan. (I'm still working on that thing called Perfection.) Appears I have a way to go.
- Post Note: This went fast during Super Bowl and most of the girls took a piece or two home with them. I was left with two pieces, one for my house cleaner Monday morning, and one for me, unless I get a visitor before I get to my piece.
PEANUT BUTTER LAYER CAKE WITH PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING
This recipe is for the peanut butter-obsessed. The cake itself is substantial but also tender. Be sure you don't skip the last 2 minutes of beating incorporating air into the butter-sugar-egg mixture makes the batter light. Spread a few tablespoons of raspberry jam on each cake layer along with the peanut butter for an easy PB&J upgrade!

Steps:
- For the cake: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans, and line the bottom of each with a round piece of parchment. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda together onto a piece of parchment or into a large bowl.
- Beat the butter, brown sugar, peanut butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and creamy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the side of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low, and add the flour mixture in 3 additions and the milk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just combined.
- Evenly divide the batter among the prepared cake pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for a few minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Invert each onto a cooling rack, and remove the parchment. (The cakes can be stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 1 day.)
- For the buttercream: Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan large enough to hold the heatproof bowl of a stand mixer above the water.
- Whisk together the granulated sugar, egg whites and salt in the stand mixer bowl. Set the bowl above the boiling water, and whisk until the mixture is warm to the touch and the sugar has completely dissolved. Transfer the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat at medium-high speed until cool and the whites hold stiff peaks, about 5 minutes. Beat in 3/4 cup of the peanut butter until smooth. Beat in a couple of chunks of butter at a time, making sure the pieces are incorporated before adding more. Continue beating on medium-high speed until the buttercream thickens into stiff peaks. (The mixture at some point may appear to be very liquidy, but continue to beat.) Beat in the vanilla.
- To assemble: Slice each cake in half, for a total of 4 cake rounds. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup peanut butter on 3 of the rounds, dividing evenly. Put 1 round, peanut butter-side up, on a cake stand or serving platter, and spread about 3/4 cup of the buttercream on top, leaving about a 1/2-inch border all around. Repeat with 2 more layers of peanut-buttered cake and buttercream. Place the last cake round (without the peanut butter) on top. Frost the outside of the cake with the remaining buttercream. Refrigerate the cake until it sets up (this makes it possible to cut neat slices), at least 4 hours up to overnight. Sprinkle the top with peanut brittle before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and lightly dust with cocoa powder a 6-cup bundt pan or an 8-inch x 2-inch round cake pan, tapping out the excess. If using a round cake pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, then butter and dust with cocoa again.
- Into the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl, briskly whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla until well blended. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Then, keeping the mixer running on low, pour in the coffee and mix gently, just until combined. Scrape the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula to ensure all ingredients are blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean (either of the two pans will bake in this amount of time). Remove from the oven, place the pan on a wire rack, then let the cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Carefully invert onto a serving plate.
- Prepare the frosting: in a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- In a small bowl, stir together the coffee, espresso powder, and vanilla extract so that the espresso powder dissolves, then add the mixture to the bowl with the cream cheese and butter and beat until combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the powdered sugar mixture to the cream cheese. Mix until well blended. Add a little more liquid coffee or powdered sugar as needed to reach the desired consistency. Spread over the cooled cake. Sprinkle immediately with chopped chocolate covered espresso beans. Dive in!
