Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting

Amazing Cake!! Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting

Oh hey, are you new here? I hope you'll connect with me on Facebook, Twitter, email, or another option over there on the right. 

Who doesn't like a good bundt cake. You don't have to worry about stacking layers, no cupcake liners, and you can still pile on the frosting.

I tried something new with this one and added peanut butter to the cake batter. Result: amazingly moist and delicious cake! With the addition of peanut butter cream frosting...you better get a big ol' glass of milk with this one. Seriously, this cake is amazing!

I'm pretty excited to take this one to work. I think it will make my co-workers veryyyyy happy.

With an electric mixer, cream together cream cheese and butter. Add vanilla and 2 cups of powdered sugar. Blend until smooth. Add remaining 2 cups of powdered sugar, peanut butter, and milk. Combine until smooth.

Spread frosting onto cooled bunt cake. For a little extra deliciousness, drizzle hot fudge sauce over frosted cake.

Serve with a big glass of milk.
