Cake 4: Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting

What is better than Peanut Butter and Chocolate together? For me, very little. So this week I decided to make one of my favorite cakes, Chocolate cake with Peanut Butter frosting. This is one I have made many times before - but only ever in cupcake form.

For the cake I tried a new recipe that called for a cup of strong coffee. The cake came out very moist with just a hint of coffee in the flavor. I will post the link once I can find it again :)

Peanut Butter frosting has become something I no longer need a recipe for. Just mix 1 cup butter with 1 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth. Then blend in powdered sugar until it is very thick, almost crumbly. Add milk until you get to the desired consistency. It turns out so creamy, goes on smooth and is not overly sweet.

I made one batch of cupcakes and one, two layer cake. The cupcakes made their way into my client's office and to project runway viewing on Thursday and the cake came with me to work today. Sadly, for the first time ever in 4 years of bringing cakes on the bus, I dropped the cake. Have no fear, I was able to save the cake (I only lost minimal frosting to the bus bench) and judging by my co-workers feedback, this one turned out quite well.
