The Ultimate Chocolate Layered Reese's PB Cup Birthday Cake!

So I am not the best cake decorator, but I found this awesome cake on pickypalate.blogspot.com. Her picture online looks declicous. Mine is not so pretty, but it tastes good. Andy loves reese's peanut butter cups so I thought this would be perfect for him. I hope he likes it. Here is the recipe!

1 box pillsbury Devils food cake mix

4 large eggs

1/2 cup canola oil

1/2 cup water

8 oz sour cream

1 small box instant chocolate pudding mix

1 bag mini or regular chocolate chips

------------------------------------

frosting

4 8 oz packages softened cream cheese

2 sticks softened butter

16 oz powdered sugar

--------------------------

1 cup melted creamy peanut butter

1 bag of reese's peanut butter cup minis, halved( put in freezer an hour before cutting, it's much easier)

1. Preheat oven to 350. In a mixer add the cake mix, eggs, oil, water, sour cream, pudding mix, and chocolate chips. Beat until well combined, about 2 minutes. Will be thick. Pour evenly into 2 well greased 9 inch cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely.

2. To prepare cream cheese frosting place softened cream cheese and butter into a mixing bowl, beat on med-high speed until creamy smooth. Slowly beat in powdered sugar until a good spreading consistency forms. I used almost the entire bag of powdered sugar. Refridgerate for a good hour before frosting.

3. Turn cakes onto wax paper and with a large serrated knife cut each cake in half width wise to form 4 layers. Place one layer onto a cake stand and drizzle with melted peanut butter over top. Next spread a generous amount of cream cheese frosting over that. Place another layer on top and repeat peanut butter and frosting until top layer is placed. Spread remaining frosting over entire cake then top with halved reese's peanut butter cup minis. I froze the cake until ready for serving. It stays nice and cold which makes it much easier to cut into slices. Enjoy!
