Chocolate cake with Creamy Peanut Butter frosting ~




A friend's birthday inspired this dessert.  She turns 60 today and loves chocolate.  She also loves peanut butter.  So I thought this combination would do nicely as a cake to celebrate her milestone.


I've made this cake many times in the past and it's my go to chocolate cake.  It's so easy and delicious. You make it right in one bowl and turn the beaters on.  I believe it's right from the back of the box of Hershey's cocoa, at least it used to be.  I linked the chocolate cake recipe below.

But for the frosting, here is the simple recipe.

1 stick of butter
1 cup of peanut butter
2 cups of confectioner's sugar
1/4 cup cream (I used almond milk)

Cream all together in a mixer.  Easy and a great spreadable frosting.



Recipe for cake, linked here.

Laura will be here for dinner tonight and since it's a weeknight, here's my simple menu!

Spaghetti & Meatballs
Garlic Bread
Green Salad

And for dessert?  Cake, of course.  I hope you like it Laura, many happy returns.

Oh, I crushed a half of cup of peanuts and topped the cake.  I just added whole ones around the bottom edge to cover up my holidays!
