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.



What a lucky sister! The cake looks lovely! Good idea making the tester cupcake though. :) I'd be too tempted to cut into the cake!!
ReplyDeleteI love peanut butter too....and with chocolate....well that is pure perfection!
Thank you! I always cave to temptation, the tester cupcake is a lifesaver!
DeleteLooks great! I wish I had a birthday person I could have given mine to, seemed like a waste to make it for no good reason!
ReplyDeleteIf only this had come a few weeks later! Oh well, we need to know more cancers, I guess
DeleteI made this cake for my sister's birthday as well. I'm sure your sister will love it!

DeleteIt seems that we had a few birthday celebration with the cake in our group! Yours looks wonderful!

Deletemmmmm peanut butter and nutella! on white bread! cures almost anything! i served this cake at my SIL's bday party this afternoon and it was a hit! i'm sure yours will be too!
ReplyDeleteYes, everyone loved it! It was definitely appreciated (everyone broke their diets for it!)
DeletePretty 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!
ReplyDeleteIt's a total lifesaver in those "oh my god, I really need a peanut butter cup" lady moments!
