Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup of whole milk
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp of baking powder
• 1/2 tsp of baking soda
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract
• 1 bar of milk chocolate (melted and cooled)
• 2 cups of crunchy peanut butter
• 2 cups of confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 cup of cream

Instructions

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add this to the flour mixture, stirring until just blended.
4. Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared pans, and smooth the tops with a spatula.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of each cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the peanut butter filling. In a large bowl, beat together the crunchy peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, and cream until light and fluffy. Set aside.
7. Once the cakes are completely cool, spread one-third of the peanut butter filling on one of the cakes. Repeat with the remaining cakes and filling.
8. Melt the milk chocolate bar and spread it over the top layer of the cake, letting it drizzle down the sides.
9. Place the cake in the fridge for a few hours until the chocolate has set.

There you have it, the Crunchy Milk Chocolate-Peanut Butter Layer Cake, a dessert that’s sure to spellbind your taste buds and heart alike.
