We made three (8 inch) cake layers of our Classic Chocolate Cake from scratch (linked below) which stand approximately 5 inches tall.

Once cooled, we filled our layers with our favorite Peanut Butter Buttercream frosting, and frosted with a coat of dreamy chocolate buttercream which we combed with an Ateco cake comb for a ridged effect.

Peanut Butter Buttercream rosettes were piped with a Wilton 21 star tip over the top of the cake, and we added a chocolate buttercream shell border with a 2D star tip. Finally, we finished things off with a healthy helping of mini Reese’s Cups. Heaven!

 

Now it’s time to meet the stars of this Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cake Recipe! This is a compilation of our favorite chocolate cake, peanut butter buttercream frosting, and chocolate buttercream frosting below. Enjoy!

Classic Chocolate Cake -This scratch chocolate cake  recipe is moist, stable enough to hold up to fondant, works great with cupcakes, and has just the right amount of richness! (If you prefer to work with a doctored cake mix, we love this Chocolate Sour Cream Cake recipe!)

    Looks yummy!!! Funny that you posted this, I’m working on a Chocolate, PB and PB Cup cake right now for my son. Except mine will be covered in fondant and be topped with a hand grenade – LOL! I hope my cake is as explosively yummy as yours!!!

  2. Melissa Diamond August 24, 2014 at 1:47 pm

    @MsGF – We must be on the same wavelength with our cakes (minus the grenade-haha) ;0) –I’m sure that he will love it! –

    LOOKS to die for. This is a favorite flavor combination of many of my customers also. My favorite flavor as well. YUMMO :)
    Just did lots of cupcakes in this flavor last weekend.

    Oh yes….this is a true favorite and crowd pleaser.

    It’s beautiful. My wife is a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup girl. She love those things.
    I was pondering on what her birthday cake would be this year .

    Thank you Be Be and Melissa

    Thanks Paula & Paula M!! :0) — @Scott- You should definitely make this for your wife, she’ll love it! :0)

    I love chocolate and peanut butter combined, and when it’s in a cake, heaven! This flavor combo was one of the tiers in my niece’s wedding cake. I got tons of compliments on it (as it wasn’t just a plain boring chocolate cake).

    I recently found Oreo cookies filled with Reece’s PB cups. I’m thinking those might be great mixed up with some buttercream for a filling.

  8. Jennifer Sullivan August 29, 2014 at 9:28 pm

    The peanut butter buttercream tastes just like Reeses!!

  9. Kathy Zebert August 30, 2014 at 8:40 pm

    Looks delicious AND beautiful! You are so talented :D

    OMG the cake looks devineeeeeeeeeeeee! with the liquid measurements are they in grams or ml – I really want to try this here in Aussie land.

    While I made this cake and it was absolutely delicious, my layers fell after they came out of the oven and were not thick looking like yours> Did I do something wrong? Some of my family loved this cake and some didn’t but the ones that did were having a fitting over how good it was. My son in law said, that was the best cake I ever made!! It was Pretty awesome but would have like my layers to been a little more thicker!!

  12. KimMJ September 13, 2014 at 3:58 pm

    That looks absolute delicious as well as beautiful. Cannot wait to give it a try! Thanks for the recipes:)

    I have made 2 of these cakes since you posted it. At this point everyone has absolutely loved it. I am just wondering about putting a touch of pb flavoring in a chocolate cake. What do you think?

  14. BeBe October 11, 2014 at 11:08 pm

    Hi Marlene, we have not tried that but I think that could be a good idea. Let us know what you think if you give it a try.

    Hi ,
    Wow, absolutely yummy cake.. love all your cakes..

    I have a question , my cakes always have hard crumbs on
    the tops.. how to avoid it?

    Thank u

  16. MBM February 10, 2017 at 6:46 pm

    This is a novice question :) but would I need to make a dam with the peanut butter buttercream for this cake or is that not necessary? Thanks!

  17. BeBe February 10, 2017 at 8:01 pm

    Hi MBM, You will not need t make a dam with the peanut butter buttercream.
