Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups granulated sugar
1 3/4 cups + 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup oil ((vegetable or canola oil))
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water (, or hot coffee)
1 batch Peanut Butter Frosting
1/2 cup butter ((1 stick), melted)
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (for topping on cake, optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease two 8-inch round baking pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl.
  • Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the boiling water (your batter will be very thin--that's OK!). Pour batter into prepared cake pans.
  • Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.
  • Once cakes have cooled, use a sharp serrated knife to cut each cake horizontally in half, so that you end up with four, thin cake rounds.
  • Place one cake layer on serving plate. Smooth 1/3 of the peanut butter frosting on top of that cake layer. Repeat with the remaining cake layers, adding a layer of peanut butter frosting between each layer of cake.

This is a little different than the melt away cake already posted. This one has 1/2 cup more butter in the cake and a chocolate icing. I made it in a Williams Sonoma Lady Ann cake pan. It is 1 layer pan with an indention for the peanut butter. It looks very professional and appealing.

  • While the cake is still warm, spread with peanut butter. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate morsels, and put the pan back into the oven to melt the chocolate.
