Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake – Decadent, Creamy & Perfectly Balanced – Page 3

In a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, combine chocolate, butter, and cream.
Heat in 15–20 second intervals (or over low heat), stirring until smooth and shiny.
Let cool slightly before drizzling — it should be pourable, not hot.

Level cake layers if needed. Place the first layer on a serving plate or cake board.
Spread a thick layer of peanut butter frosting on top.
Add the second cake layer and frost the top and sides with the remaining frosting.
Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the top, letting it drip slightly down the sides.
Decorate with chocolate chips, crushed peanuts, or piped frosting swirls, if desired.

✨ Serving Suggestions

Chill for at least 45 minutes before slicing to help set the layers and frosting.
For the richest flavor, enjoy the cake the next day once the flavors have fully developed.
