Sinful Peanut Butter Delight!

Ok I love baking but I hate making box cakes! there are several reasons

1. the cakes are always to soft and almost always break or fall apart when trying to assemble them
2. they never have a strong taste
3. there is nothing to them... you get no real reward from making a box cake!

but today I had no time! when I remake this recipe which I will it will be with a HOMEMADE chocolate cake!

this is a Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cake

if you are using a box chocolate cake I would say add at least 5 Tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa to the recipe!

the secret to this recipe though is the DELICIOUS Chocolate peanut butter icing

Icing recipe

2 cups white sugar
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup powder sugar


Combine sugar and cocoa in a large saucepan. Stir in 1/2 cup milk, butter and peanut butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until butter melts and mixture is combined, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Stir in the vanilla

place in mixing bowl with Powder sugar beat till combined add 1/4 cup milk(you may need a little more if you want it thinner) and you have DELICIOUS chocolate peanut butter icing!

the finish product VANISHED as soon as it was in the door!
