For the chocolate cake:
1¾ cups (220g) Flour
3/4 cup (75g) Cocoa powder
1½ teaspoons Baking soda
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1¾ cups (350g) Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Salt
2 Eggs
1 cup (240ml) Buttermilk
1/2 cup (120ml) Vegetable oil
1 cup (240ml) Coffee
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
For the peanut butter frosting:
1 cup (230g) Butter, softened
1¼ cups (300g) Peanut butter, natural
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1½ cups + 2 tbsps. (200g) Powdered sugar
1/3 cup (80m) Heavy cream
For decoration:
Dark 100g (3.5oz) Dark chocolate
1/2 cup (120ml) Heavy cream
Directions:
1. Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180C˚). Butter two 8-inch (20cm) cake pans and line the bottoms with a parchment paper, grease the sides. Lightly dust with cocoa powder. Set aside.
2. To a large bowl add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir well and set aside.
3. In a separate bowl mix buttermilk, eggs, oil and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Add the wet mixture to the dry, whisk until incorporated. Then add hot coffee (or water) and mix until combined.
5. Pour the batter into prepared pans.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
7. Make the frosting: in a large bowl beat butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and beat on low speed until combined and creamy. Add heavy cream, 2 tablespoons at the time and vanilla extract, beat until light and fluffy.
8. Transfer the frosting into a piping bag. Cut the top of the cakes.
9. Place one cake layer with flat side down. Spread a layer of frosting, place the second layer of cake on top of the frosting, flat side up. Spread evenly the frosting on top and sides of the cake. Keep the remaining frosting for later.
10. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours.
11. Make chocolate ganache: Chop the chocolate, place in a large bowl. In a saucepan bring the heavy cream to a simmer. Pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 1-2 minutes. Stir until smooth.
12. Pour the ganache on top and allow to drip. Smooth the top with an offset spatula, allow to set. Pipe the remaining frosting on top of the ganache.

Hi may I ask what dark chocolate did you use?

[@katrinas2722]

Do I need to add any extra flower for cooking in high altitude or should the recipe be fine? I always have to add a couple tblsp to brownies to make sure they cook properly.

Peanut butter and chocolate!!!! The. Best. Combination. Ever!!!!!

[@phoebes2036]

I made this cake for my grandfather’s 98th birthday today. His favorite dessert combination ever is chocolate and peanut butter. He loved this cake and so did everyone else at his surprise party! This cake tastes just as good as it looks and if you are reading this and considering baking this cake then take this as your sign to do it!! You will not be disappointed

[@TheCookingFoodie]

Wow thank you for the comment. I wish happy birthday to your grandfather. Glad he like it ❤🎂

That looks so delicious. Can’t wait to try it. 1:30 am and thinking of getting out of bed to make it lol Update: made this after waking up and it was absolutely fantastic. Had a little hiccup when making the ganache. It broke. Having never made ganache before it was a little upsetting. After reading up I found it was saveable. Glad I didn’t toss it and give up. Found adding a tablespoon of hot water and using an immersion blender fixed the ganache.

[@danward8720]

Hmmm, I'm wondering if you took the tops of the layers that you cut off, crumbled them up, then spread over the the top while the ganache is still hot. The texture and eye appeal would be great. My fathers favorite dessert was peanut butter pie. He worked at a country club and the pastry chef would make one for him on occasion. Thanks for sharing...

I made this cake with some changes. I put 250g of sugar instead of 350g, 120ml of buttermilk instead of 250ml, 120ml of coffee instead of 250ml and it was sweet anyway but not too much and there is no need for more milk or coffee. I also put 100g of sugar in a peanut frosting instead od 200g and it was sweet. The cake is ok, not something I will bake again though.

[@sheilayoyo]

How much teaspoon of coffee do you use and can I substitute butter milk with sour cream ?

What is Buttermilk?. Is it to mix butter with milk and if I am correct then what is the amount of butter and milk to make the buttermilk?

[@eduardoarellano2495]

It's liquid from the process of making butter, I substitute it with whole milk and either vinegar or lemon juice. 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar/lemon juice = 1 cup buttermilk. Just let it stand until it coagulates a little
