Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 1 box of chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs

For the Frosting

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.

Make the Frosting

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter and softened butter until creamy.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing on low speed.
  3. Add heavy cream and vanilla extract; beat until light and fluffy.

Assemble the Cake

  1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread with frosting.
  2. Top with the second layer and frost the top and sides of the cake.

Add the Toppings

  1. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts over the cake.
  2. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the frosting before serving.

Notes

For an even richer flavor, use chocolate fudge cake mix. You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter for a nutty twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
