Happy Birthday to my Wonderful Husband Tyson!














Peanut Butter Cup Cake!

One of Tyson's favorite treats are Miniature Reese's Peanut butter cups. He is very particular about how he likes to eat them, they have to come out of the fridge!

I thought this cake would be perfect for him!!! It was a big hit!!! I found it on one of the blogs I follow, but forgot which one, and they got it from Parents.com. So thank you if you posted it!!! I'm great at printing tons of recipes, but not so great at remembering where I get them from!

1 Devil's food cake mix
3 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup veg oil
2+ cups chopped peanut butter cups
8 oz dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat two 9-inch cake pans with non-stick cooking spray. Line with wax paper and coat paper.

In a large bowl, beat cake mix, eggs, buttermilk and veg oil on low for 30 sec. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for 2 minutes. Scrape down sides after 1 min. Fold in 2 cups chopped peanut better cups.

Pour batter into pans and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until done! :)


cool cakes completely!!!

Place chopped dark chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring cream to a boil and pour over chocolate. Whisk until chocolate melts. Add Peanut better and whisk until smooth.

Trim each cake layer so the tops are flat. Place one layer on a cooling rack and pour 1 cup frosting on top. Spread evenly with a spatula. Add second layer and pour remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Smooth out with spatula.

Allow frosting to set for a minute and gently press remaining chopped peanut butter cup pieces all over the top! Place in fridge and let chill for an hour. Remove and serve!!!
