Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting

A moist 5-Star Rated Chocolate Cake with Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting topped with Peanut Butter Cups 

Today is my son Mason’s 17th birthday! I can’t even believe it and would like to request that time stand still. It is so hard watching my kids grow up. But today we are celebrating him and all of the reasons we love him so much. Of course, I believe everyone should blow out candles on a birthday cake of their choice. This year it was a Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake topped with peanut butter cups.

Many times people tell me they are intimidated by making their own homemade cakes. But I am here to tell you that this homemade chocolate cake recipe is as easy as it gets. It has a 5-Star rating for good reason. It takes me less than 5 minutes to whip up the cake batter. Plus it comes out of the pans like a dream!

This Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting is made with sweet cream butter, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. It is that simple! If you love peanut butter, you will go crazy for this homemade peanut butter icing.

I love to top this Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake with peanut butter cups. You can use the classic Reeses Peanut Butter cups or you can go gourmet and use Trader Joe’s peanut butter cups. You can also place them inside the layers above the frosting if you want extra chocolate peanut butter flavor. Another way to add more chocolate is to add a drizzle of chocolate ganache on the top of the cake. It is made with high-quality chocolate melted down with a small amount of heavy cream.
