Peanut Butter Frosting
If you don't want to use buttermilk, you can use water instead. If you don't have any, you can substitute buttermilk with maple syrup, honey, or molasses. To make the cake with peanut butter, you need to blend cream cheese and sugar until they're fluffy. Then, add the remaining powdered sugar. Continue beating on medium speed until the frosting is fluffy. Then, drizzle the chocolate on top and drizzle the peanut butter on top.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter room temperature
- 1 cup Peanut Butter
- 2 TBS Heavy Cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste optional
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the softened butter and peanut butter. Beat until combined and add the heavy cream and vanilla bean paste and continue to beat.
- Add the powdered sugar in batches until fully combined and smooth. If the frosting is too stiff add a bit of heavy cream, if it is too soft add a bit of powdered sugar.
- Frost the bottom cake layer and place the second layer on top. Frost the top layer and drizzle with melted chocolate and plenty of sprinkles.

Notes
This cake has an intense chocolate flavor, and is very soft and moist. The peanut butter frosting isn’t overly sweet, and went very well with the cake though you could use any flavor of frosting and this cake would still be killer.
