Directions
Peanut Chocolate Cake, This recipe came from The Taste of Home Magazine I have made a couple of very small changes to suit me It is a very light cake and makes a very large cake Very rich!!! TOH recommends to NOT use the fat reduces or generic brands for this cake and I fully agree!!!!, MMM what a wonderful cake The cake and icing complimented each other perfectly I followed the recipe as is and the cake came out moist and chocolaty while the icing was surprisingly not as sweet as it looks, with a peanut butter taste which reminds me of the middle of a Reese’s cup somewhat Yummy! I did opt to leave out the finely chopped nuts as garnish cause I knew I wouldn’t enjoy it like that I also made this into a three layer cake, dividing batter evenly among my pans I found that I did not need to add any milk to get a spreadable consistency on my frosting as well Thanks for the recipe, it was delightful
