PBC Cake

Peanut Butter. Chocolate. Cake. Three of my most favorite things in one seriously scrumptious dessert! I have been dying to make this since I located it on Pinterest last month. Fortunately, there was a birthday in the family this weekend. Perfect occasion for such a cake. In all honesty, the only thing I could think about during classes on Friday was that I was going to finally make this cake... Disclaimer: this cake is HORRIBLE for you. Super delicious. But you might want to have some extra insulin and antilipidemics handy. Kidding...kind of. Definitely get in some P90X or something once or twice BEFORE eating it. But really, this is the BEST tasting worst thing you can eat. Definitely worth it. Even the brother who doesn't like peanut butter, poor unfortunate child, ate this cake up. I would recommend making this for a crowd so you're not munching on leftovers :)

The recipe is from Tara at Smells Like Home. I thought about maybe making some healthier substitutions, but, really, with a cake like this, what's the point? There's just not a great way to do it. You can, however, control the quality of the ingredients that go in (i.e. natural/organic). Don't get too natural with the peanut butter though! JIF or Skippy Natural (creamy) are fine, but don't use anything that separates. That would be no good. Also, I only had 9" cake pans...so if that's you too, just know that you'll have a wider, shorter cake and will need to adjust the baking time.
