This cake has all the wonderful peanut butter swirls I loved, along with loads of chocolate and to make it better, the frosting was chocolate flavored along with a drizzle of peanut butter. It is the perfect combination to enjoy with a nice warm cup of coffee! I love eating chocolate and drinking coffee. The two just pair so well with each other, don’t you think? The chocolate melts in your mouth with every sip.
Yep, they are totally right. There is nothing better than this over the top delicious cake!
It has everything you have ever wanted in a good old-fashioned chocolate dessert!
