{craving}

Okay so my birthday is coming up at the end of the month and I would just like to put the word out (*hint* hint* Russ) that I want THIS, I really don't need anything else just a big slice of this peanut-buttery-chocolaty-heaven and a HUGE glass of ice cold milk!

I saw it on another blog that I visit and I immediately began salivating, I will be dreaming about this cake! It all begins with 'The Best Chocolate Cake Ever' recipe:

Ingredients:

1 box devil’s food cake mix
1 small box Jello instant chocolate pudding mix (not the sugar or fat free kind!)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips (substitute chocolate chips for chopped PB cups)

*mix everything together but the choc. chips (or PB cups) add them at the end and scoop (because apparently it is too thick to pour) into your pans and bake at 350 degrees for however long it says on the back of the box (plus maybe an extra 10 minutes or so).

Then for the Peanut Butter Butter Cream Frosting:

Ingredients:

1 cup shortening (crisco)
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

*In a mixing bowl, cream shortening until fluffy. Add sugar slowly and continue creaming until well blended. Add salt, vanilla, and whipping cream. Blend on low speed until moistened. Beat at high speed until frosting is fluffy.

add a 1/2 cup of smooth peanut butter at the end

Okay so are you craving a slice? or is it just me.... too bad I can't talk Aly into this for her birthday on Friday (believe me I tried) she is set on a 'pink' cake and this just would not do!
