Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
Directions:
Cake
Use a boxed chocolate mix and prepared as per directions on box. Pour batter into two 8" round pans.
Icing
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
3 cups icing sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Chocolate syrup (prepackaged squeeze pouch works best)
Beat butter until fluffy with an electric mixer. Add peanut butter and beat till incorporated. Add icing sugar 1 cup at a time, beating after each addition. Add vanilla.
Spread frosting between cake layers and ice top and sides of cake. Pour chocolate syrup around the edge of the cake allowing it to drip down the sides. Decorate top of cake as desired. I put dollops of icing around the top of the cake and in the middle and then decorated with chopped peanut butter cups.
