Directions

Prep 10 minCook 30 min
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans with 1 3/4-inch-high sides.

  2. 2

    Prepare the cake mix according to package directions, incorporating about one-fourth of the peanut butter.

  3. 3

    Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans on racks for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto racks to cool completely.

  4. 4

    In a heavy small saucepan, combine the chocolate syrup and semisweet chocolate. Stir constantly over low heat until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

  5. 5

    Transfer the chocolate mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the remaining peanut butter, followed by the powdered sugar and milk, stirring until smooth.

  6. 6

    Place one cake layer on a platter and spread the top with 1 1/2 cups of icing. Top with the second cake layer and spread the top and sides of the cake evenly with the remaining icing.

  7. 7

    Garnish with chopped peanuts. The cake can be prepared up to 1 day ahead and covered until serving. Cut into wedges and serve.
