We had this chocolate and peanut butter cake for my mom's birthday party. She is a lover of anything with chocolate and peanut butter, so this turned out to be a big hit.
The cake is made of two layers using this recipe for white chocolate cake batter. In between the cake is a thick layer of chocolate buttercream and covering the outside is peanut butter. I made rosettes and stars using a 2-D tip. The base for the icing recipe was Wilton's Buttercream and I just added peanut butter and cocoa powder to each until it had the right flavor I wanted. I chopped up mini Reece's peanut butter cups and piled them in the center and then drizzled melted chocolate over the top. MMmmmmm.... major peanut butter and chocolate overload!
Oh, and we don't count calories on birthdays, so no official calculation here!
