Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Cake


Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Cake

Do you love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? If so then you'll not want to miss this! It's a simple recipe to make. Great for any holiday! 

My favorite chocolate candy- Reese's Peanut Cups. 

Somewhere out there I'm sure someone else has come up with this cake recipe of mine or something similar. I'm not sure, but this is one of my personal favorites. And I'm not even a big cake fan.

So, like I said folk's- This recipe is simple & easy. This cake is layered in goodness. 

Ingredients:


  • 2 Chocolate Fudge cake mixes

  • 2 Ready made containersChocolate Frosting

  • 1 big package of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

  • 1 jar of  chunky peanut

       butter

Sometimes when I make this cake, I add shreds of chocolate, and crushed nuts to the top of the cake & sides. It's a fun cake to play around with... 



Instructions:

Mix your cake mix, with whatever Ingredients the box calls for. Add batter in 2 round cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees, until you can test the cakes with a toothpick. Insert toothpick- (when toothpick pulls out of the cake clean, then your cakes are done. Also, cakes will pull away from the edges of the cake pan when done.)

Next set cakes on a cooling rack- let them cool completely.

For the frosting:

In a medium sized bowl, add  1 of the ready made frosting. Next add  the contents of the chunky peanut butter. Mix together we'll.

Once the cakes are cool take 1 cake out of the pan, place it on a cake dish (or whatever you personally use for your cakes) and now spread the chocolate, peanut butter frosting on top of the first cake (which will be considered the bottom layer). Spread a generous amount, but leaving enough for the top of the next cake layer.

Next, cut the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in half pieces. 

Start sprinkling the cut pieces of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups on top of the frosted layer cake. Now add the other cake on top. 

Next spread the remaining chocolate, chunky peanut butter frosting on the top layer of the cake. (Just the top layer and center should be frosted with the chocolate, chunky peanut butter frosting.)

So now, add Reese's Peanut Butter Cups pieces on top of the cake.

Once these steps are done. It's time to smooth on the last container of chocolate frosting. So what we need to do now- add the chocolate frosting on only the parts of the cake that doesn't have the chocolate, chunky peanut butter frosting. In which are the sides of the cake. Smooth the frosting out with a spatula.

Once this is done, go around the outside layer, at the top of the cake, smooth frosting out as nice as possible. Add Reese's Peanut Butter Cups pieces (or whole mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups) around the top edge of the entire cake. (We're doing this to finish the seams of where the 2 different frostings meet together.

It's just that simple! 

When I first came up with this recipe back about 15 years ago, everyone went completely crazy over it. It's been a holiday traditional favorite ever since.
