Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cake

*swoon* lol

So apparently this week was all about the sweets.  As such, I felt I wanted to finish the week off with a doosey.  Here, my friends, she is.

THE CAKE

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2/3 cups cocoa
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup brewed coffee, room tmp

THE FROSTING

  • 1 small package of cream cheese (3oz)
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups confectioners sugar
  • 2 TBSP milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • some choc chips for decorating (not required)

Preheat oven to 350(f)

In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients in the CAKE recipe.  Gradually beat in: eggs, oil, vanilla, and milk.  Beat for about 2 minutes or until everything is well incorporated. Fold in the coffee.  Pour this mix into your greased cake pan (13×9) and bake for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Let cool completely before trying to ice.

For the icing:  In a large bowl beat the cream cheese and peanut butter.  Then gradually beat in the sugar, milk, and vanilla. (Be careful not to overbeat because the icing can get “hard”.

Spread icing over cake and decorate with chocolate chips.  Then sit down and eat till you ‘bout pop.  Or at least that’s how I do it. =D
