Baked Sunday Mornings: Oopsy Daisy Cake


It still scandalizes me to no end that there are people in the world (actually, large parts of the world) that don't consume peanut butter. It's not often that I say things like that 'oh thank goodness I'm American'--but I can make an exception for the perfect combination of peanut butter and chocolate (which, obviously, would not be possible without our cultural fixation on peanut butter). I'm a fiend for that combination, even to the point of eating spoonfuls of peanut butter and Nutella mixed when under emotional duress (ladies, I think you know what I mean). There's really nothing better.

This is where this post gets weird. I like to be able to taste everything before I post it here, but because of posting deadlines for Baked Sunday Mornings/my sister's birthday being today, this cake is still sitting in my fridge. We'll be cutting into tonight at my sister's birthday dinner, so wish me luck!  Note: don't worry, we made a cupcake to share to make sure that the batter and buttercream weren't poisonous (delicious!), so we're all good there.

  6. Pretty cake! I have been known to sneak a spoonful of peanut butter and a spoonful of nutella on occasion, but never together. Definitely will have to give that a try!
