My mother-in-law's birthday is today, and what's a birthday without a cake? I asked her what type she'd like and she just said "something chocolate." Easy enough! I had a bunch of leftover Halloween candy still in my pantry so I decided to utilize that as well. Peanut butter cups...
mmmm. To
avoid chocolate overload (as if there was such a thing - ha!) I decided to fill the cake layers with our favorite
peanut butter frosting. Seriously, this stuff is beyond amazing! I made the cake from a box (I've had some bad luck with cakes from scratch) and stuffed the layers with the peanut butter frosting and chopped up peanut butter cups.
I spread some triple chocolate frosting (courtesy of Betty
Crocker) on the top and added more peanut butter cups. The result? Rich, peanut buttery and delicious!
Happy birthday, Anne!
On another note, Joe came home from school yesterday with some cookies that some of his students had made in their home
ec class. Aren't they the cutest things?!?
