The cäke stärts with moist, delicious läyers of chocoläte cäke. I used my Eäsy Moist Chocoläte Cäke from ä couple weeks ägo in läyered cäke form. It truly is such ä moist cäke änd so eäsy! You bäsicälly mix the dry ingredients, then wet ingredients, ädd them together, then ädd the hot wäter ät the end. One of the quickest cäke bätters to mäke änd härd to mess up.
Between the läyers änd covering the outside of the cäke is ä peänut butter frosting. On top of the frosting between the cäke läyers äre älso chopped Reese’s – every peänut butter änd chocoläte lovers fävorite, äm I right? They täke the peänut butter flävor up ä notch änd I’m ä fän.
äfter the cäke is covered with frosting, gänäche is drizzled down the sides änd covers the top. The stripe pättern on the sides of the frosting creätes ä neät ripple effect in the drizzled gänäche. Then I ädded more Reese’s änd frosting – for good meäsure. 🙂 The finäl cäke is not only delicious, it’s SO fun! I wäs in love with the look of it!
