I love chocolate and PB, but this was way too rich. We ended up throwing a large portion of it away.

I thought this cake was delicious and I got rave reviews from family and friends. However, I had MAJOR issues with the top layer of icing and I think it's because the cool whip wasn't completely thawed. So I ended up buying a bottle of glaze that you heat in the microwave and squeeze on and it worked great! This is definitely going in my list of recipe desserts :)

DELICIOUS FOR THOSE THAT LIKE PEANUT BUTTER. WILL MAKE AGAIN INTO LAYER CAKE WITH PEANUT BUTTER IN MIDDLE.

I've made this cake numerous times. The only thing I do differently is to make it into a layer cake with the peanut butter mixture layered in the middle. This is very easy to make and absolutely delicious! I make it often when asked to bring dessert and when I don't have much time. It is always a huge hit and I always get asked for the recipe.

My family loved it. I made it in 2 layers with the peanut butter frosting in the middle. So easy to make.

This was excellent. The next time I make this cake, I will make it as a two-layer cake with a layer of the peanut butter frosting in the middle.
