Peanut Butter Cup in Cake Form


Yesterday was my birthday, and since birthdays are perfect occasions to indulge, I made myself this cake. Believe me, it did not disappoint. I'm one of those people who can't understand when someone declares something to be too rich or too sweet. What? Too rich?! Never.
This recipe might, might make me say that though. But not out loud.

Last year, or maybe even the year before, I printed this recipe from my go-to foodie blog, Smitten Kitchen. Chocolate and Peanut butter charm me like no other combo. But for some reason, I couldnt bring myself to make it, scared that I would fall over in a diabetic coma after one piece.

Its good. Divine. But you only need a sliver, and as Smitten Kitchen warned, a BIG glass of milk. Enough said. Enjoy.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

*Note: recipe makes enough for an army, considering the sliver servings. DO NOT MAKE UNLESS YOU ARE HAVING A PARTY.

*Second note. This post is dedicated to my friend Meri, with whom I have shared more peanut butter and chocolate desserts with than anyone else in the world.
