Ingredients

  • Cake

    • All-purpose flour
    • Cocoa powder
    • Baking powder
    • Baking soda
    • Salt
    • Granulated sugar
    • Eggs
    • Milk
    • Vegetable oil
    • Vanilla extract
    • Boiling water

  • Peanut Butter Frosting

    • Creamy peanut butter
    • Butter, softened
    • Powdered sugar
    • Vanilla extract
    • Milk (as needed for consistency)

  • Chocolate Ganache (optional)

    • Heavy cream
    • Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake
    Preheat the oven and grease cake pans. Mix dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another. Combine, then add boiling water for a smooth batter.

  2. Bake
    Pour the batter into prepared pans and bake until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cakes cool completely.

  3. Make the Frosting
    Beat peanut butter and butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla. Adjust with milk for a spreadable consistency.

  4. Assemble and Frost
    Layer the cakes with peanut butter frosting between them, then cover the top and sides.

  5. Add Ganache (optional)
    Heat heavy cream and pour over chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the cake.

Notes

  • Ensure cakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Ganache is optional but adds extra chocolatey richness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container.
