REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CAKE

*** This has been edited to eliminate a "hard chocolate" topping. It has been replaced with a ganache which is easier to cut and just as tasty! My son's request for his birthday cake led to this creation. I didn't see another like it; and had so many requests for it; I thought I would share. It's very easy to make and if you love Reese's, then this ought to cover you. Keep milk close by! Oh, and it freezes beautifully!

Time 40m

Yield 1 9 X 13 cake, 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (18 1/2 ounce) box dark chocolate cake mix
1 1/3 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
6 -8 Reese's Peanut Butter cups, chilled then chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare cake according to directions for a 9X13 pan. Set aside to cool.
  • For the frosting, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar and vanilla with mixer. Add small amounts of milk until desired consistency is achieved. You want a thinner consistency for easier cutting.
  • Spread frosting evenly over cool cake. (Hint -- if cake is partially frozen, there is less "tearing" when spreading the frosting.).
  • For the ganache, place the chocolate chips in a heat proof bowl. In a saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream and the vanilla and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Pour over the chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until completely smooth then pour over peanut butter frosting.
  • Sprinkle the chopped peanut butter cups over the warm chocolate to ensure it sticks. Chill for about 30 minutes to set chocolate.
  • As an alternative; you can also use a bundt cake pan. Double your peanut butter frosting ingredients. Fill the bundt pan halfway, add a thin layer of peanut butter frosting, then fill the remainder with the cake mix. Make the peanut butter frosting a little thinner so it "drips" better.
  • Another idea would be to add the chopped peanut butter cups to the cake mix before baking.

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will make the cake dry.
