THIS JUST MIGHT BE THE MOST AMAZING CAKE I HAVE EVER EATEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE….AND TRUST ME, I HAVE EATEN A LOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT OF CAKE!
MY FRIEND AND I HAD A BLAST MAKING THIS TOGETHER. SHE HAD THE GENIUS IDEA OF PUTTING OREO TRUFFLES ON THIS LAYER. CAN YOU SEE WHY WE ARE FRIENDS? OH YESSSSSS!
YOU KNOW I JUST HAD TO HAVE SOME PEANUT BUTTER CUPS IN THERE, TOO! WE LEFT THE MINIS WHOLE….LOVE THE LOOK!
THE INSIDE SHOT…A BIT MESSY, BUT IT WON’T MATTER! YOU WILL BE TOO BUSY SWOONING OVER HOW SCRUMPTIOUS THIS IS!
READY TO BAKE YOURS?
Prepare Oreo truffles a day ahead to lay on one layer. Click here for the Oreo Truffle Recipe. The other layer will be filled with mini Reese’s pb cups, left whole. For easier cake slicing, you may prefer to chop them.
- Place the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a pot, heat the cream until it is hot. Pour over the chocolate, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted. Add Lyle’s Golden Syrup and vanilla, stirring until completely mixed.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into a large pyrex measuring cup for pouring.
assembly: cake, frosting, truffle, more frosting, CHILL, then cake, frosting, pb cups, cake, and frost it all-then pour ganache all over the top and let it drip! fun!
