The flavor of this cake was quite delicious but I'm so used to eating homeade cake that this cake tasted like a cake mix to me. I found it to be a little dry. Perhaps if some sour cream were added it would be better. All in all everyone else loved it. Especially the glaze.It tasted like peanut butter cups.

Thanks, NurseDi, for this very good recipe. You graciously responded to my request for a good dessert to take to a luau. Since I thought that most people would make something with coconut and/or pineapple (and I was right), I decided to make something that would be a little different. This is a good cake recipe, especially for thoses who love the taste of chocolate and peanut butter, as I do. I followed the recipe exactly except that I used 1/2 of the 12 ounce package of mini chocolate chips in the cake and the other 1/2 for the frosting.
