Really good cake. I took the suggestion of baking the cake in a 9 X 13 inch pan. I then frosted with the peanut butter filling. I did change the glaze to a chocolate glaze and put that over the peanut butter filling. Yum is all I can say!!!!! Thank you so very much!!!!

This cake tasted just like funny bones but the filling does not hold up to heat, if I was to make it again I would probably make it in a 13x9x2" pan and frost the cake with the filling after it cooled and put a chocolate glaze on it. You would get the same effect but not the hollow tunnel that is created from the filling melting. Would be a little embarrassed to serve to company.

Five plus I should say! This was awesome, and the filling tasted like the real thing too. I needed to bake a full 60 minutes and didn't glaze the cake. Will most definitely be doing this one again. Made for New Kids on the Block.
