Peanut Butter Silk Chocolate Cake

Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 55 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 1 (18 ounce) box devil's food cake mix
• 3 eggs (or as called for by your cake mix)
• 1/3 cup oil (or as called for by your cake mix)
• 1 1/3 cups water (or as called for by your cake mix)
• 2 tablespoons butter (softened) or 2 tablespoons margarine (softened)
• 1 (8 ounce) cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 (12 ounce) frozen whipped topping (thawed)

Recipe

• 1 prepare and bake the cake according to the directions using a 10 inch round pan or 2 -8 inch round pans.
• 2 after it's done, let stand for 10 minutes in the pan.
• 3 then using a wire rack on top the cake, carefully flip it over to pull it out of the pan.
• 4 let it sit on a wire rack until cool (at least an hour maybe more.)
• 5 for the peanut butter mix put the rest of the ingredients except the whipped topping into a bowl and beat until creamy.
• 6 add the whipped topping and hand stir it.
• 7 if you used one cake pan, carefully cut the cake in half.
• 8 spread one of the cakes with about 3/4 of the peanut butter mix letting it slightly drip (for a yummy looking affect) over the side.
• 9 put the other cake on top carefully.
• 10 spread the rest of the peanut butter mix on top of that.
• 11 i sprinkled the top very lightly with a dusting of cocoa powder.
• 12 and then i made up my favorite chocolate frosting adding a little more of the liquid it calls for to make it drippy.
• 13 then i dripped the frosting across the diameter of the cake all around it, letting it drip onto the plate. (you don't need a full recipe of frosting for this, so you'll have to scale it down or use the rest for something else)
• 14 put it in the fridge to set. i had mine in overnight, but it may not take that long.
• 15 happy munching!
