Once in a while you make a cake that has you screaming to make it again and again. This is it. This cake is perfect in every way. It has 2 layers of moist, rich chocolate cake and a divine middle layer of peanut butter cheesecake. It is topped with peanut butter frosting and dripping with chocolate ganache. I finished it off with Reese’s peanut butter cups and served it up to those I loved because this cake is exactly that…a labor of love. So worth it though, with each delicious bite. This recipe comes from Shugary Sweets. You need to head over to her blog and get baking because you will adore her recipes.
