Peanut Butter Silk Chocolate Cake

"Chocolate devils food cake with yummy peanut butter cream cheese layers. I made this for Father's Day (my husband's first Father's Day) for the family gettogether, and it got wild raves. My Mother-in-law (known for her cakes and pies) even said it was to die for."

directions

  • Prepare and bake the cake according to the directions using a 10 inch round pan or 2 -8 inch round pans.
  • After it's done, let stand for 10 minutes in the pan.
  • Then using a wire rack on top the cake, carefully flip it over to pull it out of the pan.
  • Let it sit on a wire rack until cool (at least an hour maybe more.)
  • For the peanut butter mix put the rest of the ingredients except the whipped topping into a bowl and beat until creamy.
  • Add the whipped topping and hand stir it.
  • If you used one cake pan, carefully cut the cake in half.
  • Spread one of the cakes with about 3/4 of the peanut butter mix letting it slightly drip (for a yummy looking affect) over the side.
  • Put the other cake on top carefully.
  • Spread the rest of the peanut butter mix on top of that.
  • I sprinkled the top very lightly with a dusting of cocoa powder.
  • And then I made up my favorite chocolate frosting adding a little more of the liquid it calls for to make it drippy.
  • Then I dripped the frosting across the diameter of the cake all around it, letting it drip onto the plate. (You don't need a full recipe of frosting for this, so you'll have to scale it down or use the rest for something else)
  • Put it in the fridge to set. I had mine in overnight, but it may not take that long.
  • Happy munching!
