Peanut Butter Silk Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

• 1 (18 ounce) box devil's food cake mix (plus ingredients required to make it)

• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine (softened)

• 1 (8 ounce)  cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

• 1 (12 ounce)  frozen whipped topping (thawed)

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare and bake the cake according to the directions using a 10 inch round pan or 2 -8 inch round pans to bake into.

2. 2

   After it's done, let stand for 10 minutes in the pan. Then using a wire rack on top the cake, carefully flip it over to pull it out of the pan. Let it sit on a wire rack until cool (at least an hour maybe more.)

3. 3

   For the peanut butter mix put the rest of the ingredients except the whipped topping into a bowl and beat until creamy. Add the whipped topping and hand stir it.

4. 4

   If you used one cake pan, carefully cut the cake in half.

5. 5

   Spread one of the cakes with about 3/4 of the peanut butter mix letting it slightly drip (for a yummy looking affect) over the side. Put the other cake on top carefully. Spread the rest of the peanut butter mix on top of that.

6. 6

   I sprinkled the top very lightly with a dusting of cocoa powder. And then I made up my favorite chocolate frosting adding a little more of the liquid it calls for to make it drippy. Then I dripped the frosting across the diameter of the cake all around it, letting it drip onto the plate. (You don't need a full recipe of frosting for this, so you'll have to scale it down or use the rest for something else)

7. 7

   Put it in the fridge to set. I had mine in overnight, but it may not take that long.

   Happy munching!
