Chocolate Peanut Butter Drip Cake

During tough times, you just sometimes need a triple layer chocolate cake smothered in peanut butter and dripping with chocolate! This cake will cure most tough days. The chocolate cake is easy to make and perfectly rich and moist. The peanut butter frosting is delicious, too! I especially loved the drip on this cake and the way is drizzled down the sides. A bit of corn syrup is to thank for that! You may also love: Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bars!
