Peanut Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
Instructions
- CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a large bowl, mix butter and brown sugar.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time.
- Add chocolate and vanilla and beat well.
- Sift flour, baking soda and salt together and add to creamed mixture alternately with the sour cream.
- Gradually beat in water.
- Pour into two greased and flored 9" round baking pans.
- Bake for 35- 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool for 10 minutes in pan, then remove and place on wire rack to cool completely.
- FROSTING: Cream butter, peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla in bowl until smooth.
- If needed for desired consistency, add 1 teaspoon of milk at a time to get the frosting you desire.
- Place bottom layer of cake on cake plate and spread top with peanut butter frosting.
- Place next layer on top and frost sides, then top of the cake with the frosting.
- (The original recipe calls for spitting the 2 layers and making 4. I leave my cake in 2 layers. I'm lazy!) Once cake is frosted, sprinkle chopped honey roasted peanuts on top or press them onto the sides of the cake.
