We just celebrated my hubby's birthday. He LOVES chocolate (we're a match made in Heaven). So when I was trying to decide what kind of birthday cake to make him, I knew it had to be some kind of chocolate cake.
I have made him a chocolate chocolate cake, a chocolate strawberry cake, a chocolate and toffee cake, a chocolate and cream cake. So when I came across THIS RECIPE, I thought it would be the perfect addition to my repertoire of cakes for my Honey.
I made only two minor changes. 1.) I only used 8 oz. cream cheese instead of the 10 oz. it calls for in the frosting. 2.) I didn't have any half and half, so I used whipping cream in the chocolate-peanut butter glaze. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly.
Well, I guess I shouldn't say exactly. I let the glaze firm up then piped it on top and around the bottom of the cake. Then I topped all of that with chopped mini Reese's peanut butter cups.
So, there you have it-my slightly adapted version.
You really should give it a try.
YAY FOR BIRTHDAYS!!!
