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!

  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  3. Hi ,

  4. 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!
