I got a little carried away guys………….

So, for those that follow me, I know I warned you all a few weeks ago that this time of year means back to back birthdays for my family. Hopefully you’re okay with this and with me posting another cake recipe today. Although, come on, look at this monstrosity of chocolatey, peanut butter goodness and tell me who wouldn’t be okay with it. Like for reals?

I made my own peanut butter cups for the purpose and found the best short cut to do it too. I did them slab style by spreading melted chocolate in a pan, then the peanut butter filling, then chocolate again, and chilling in between each layer. Then once it was solid I was able to quickly chop it into cubes and now I have to say I’m pretty proud of my own genius. This was a life-changing discovery and now I’m super excited about all the possibilities it holds!

But anyway, this cake is four different repeating layers of goodness. Firstly, there’s my favorite chocolate cake recipe and I filled it with some leftover java chips I had from these cookies (or you can use regular chocolate chips). Second, is the peanut butter mousse that acts as the frosting between layers and is oh so amazingly fluffy!

Okay, and third you’ve got the actual cheesecake layer, but wait it’s not just plain vanilla bean, you stuff it with big chunks of peanut butter cups! And then after you’ve got all the layers together you top it with a layer of dark chocolate and a huge pile of more peanut butter cups. Tell me you’re not drooling about now!

I’ll admit that it takes a little more time and patience than a basic cake or cheesecake to get it all together, but man is it worth it! It’s also a pretty huge amount of cake so if you’re only making it for a smaller group I’d suggest only doing half the amount and either keeping it at a single layer of cake and cheesecake or baking them in 5 or 6 inch pans.

Basically, I just couldn’t wait to share this one because you’ve got to try it! It’s every Reese’s lover’s dream come true.
