Awesome. The only word to describe it.

So you ever have one of those overwhelming cravings?  Well I often get a hankering (1) for peanut butter and chocolate (2) and this time decided to make something satiate the craving.  I decided a chocolate cake with peanut butter filling and dark chocolate Reeses would do the trick.  I looked up a chocolate cake recipe that I hadn't tried before (3).  To complete the Peanut Butteriness of the cake, I mixed in 1 1/2 cups of chopped dark Reeses (4) into the cake batter and 1 cup of peanut butter into the frosting. Then I spread a layer of peanut butter (it's easiest if you melt it) on each cake layer.  After frosting the cake, I put another cup and a half of chopped Reeses on the outside of the frosted cake as decoration (5).

Normally I feel like my baking is pretty good but this time I out did myself.   This cake was awesome.  It was rich and dense, just like my grandmother use to make.  Just as proof, I took this cake (6) to work and 2 people asked me for the recipe (7).

Here it is again.  It can be a bit scary, if you don't make a lot of cakes from scratch but it would be a special holiday treat! Just try it.

4 Pictures.. yeah it really was 4 pictures good.

Sorry for the big chunk taken out of it... It was calling my name.

1. Southern for a Strong and relentless desire
2. The best combination that God invented after cheese and wine

4.  Feel free to mix in more for a little more pb kick
5.  on second thought, it's probably better just to get 2 bags of Reeses .. That way you can eat lots some of them as you bake.
6. Actually just 1/3 of the cake b/c Mr. MedSchool and I ate the other 2/3rds over the weekend
7. Which seems small but it's like 15% of our office
