Triple layer Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
Ingredients
Cake
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup coca powder
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 2 cups water
- 4 large eggs
Peanut Butter Filling (I made one batch and split it between the layers. Then I made a second batch for the piping. If you are not piping, then one batch is enough.)
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 T. butter very soft
- 2 c. confectioner's sugar
- a few T. milk
Chocolate Frosting
- 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate
- 2 ½ c. powdered sugar
- 1 pound soft butter
Drip
- 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream heated just until almost a boil
Instructions
- Preheat oven 350.
- Spray three 9-inch pans with Pam, line with parchment and spray again.
- In a pot, melt the butter with the oil and water.
- In a mixer, combine sugar, cocoa, flour, soda, salt.
- Pour in the melted butter mixture.
- Add the eggs and buttermilk and mix until combined.
- Divide into 3 pans and bake approx 35 minutes.
- Let cool 10 mins in pan and flip out onto cooling racks to cool completely.
- Layer cake with frosting in between. Coat entire outside with a crumb coat of chocolate frosting and chill 30 mins. Finish it with the rest of the frosting and pipe as desired.
Peanut Butter Filling/Piping
- Beat all and add milk slowly until desired consistently. I made the piping batch thicker than the filling for the layers.
Chocolate Frosting
- Melt chocolate in microwave and let cool.
- Beat butter.
- Add sugar until creamy.
- Add chocolate and blend.
Drip
- Pour hot cream over the chips and stir.
- Let cool until the right drip consistency.
