List of Ingredients




Cake mix ingredients:
1 chocolate cake mix
1 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
1-1/3 c. milk
1/2 c. vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 t. vanilla extract

Frosting:
1 c. creamy peanut butter
1/2 c. softened butter
2 c. sifted powdered sugar
1/4 c. milk
2 t. vanilla extract

Recipe



ASSEMBLY DIRECTIONS
Cake: Combine all ingredients for cake mix; beat together until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with oil and pour in cake mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Cake should be done when the center springs back to the touch and the sides are just starting to pull away from the pan.

Frosting: Blend peanut butter and butter with an electric mixer. Add in milk and vanilla; mix together. Add in the powdered sugar and beat until frosting is fluffy. This is a thick frosting. If it seems too thick, add in another tablespoon of milk.

FREEZING DIRECTIONS
Allow cake to cool completely, and then spread frosting on top. Frosting should be spread on thickly, about an inch deep. Flash freeze to set frosting, and then cover with foil, label and freeze. Thaw completely to serve.

COMMENTS
This cake is so delicious! It has a rich flavor that will satisfy any chocolate craving. It's like eating a peanut butter cup cake!

BUDGET TIPS
By using the cake mix, you are saving a lot of time in the kitchen, and they are great loss leader sale bargains. I (the author Christi Gillentine) always stock up if I have coupons and hit a great sale. You could substitute devil's food cake mix or any of the chocolate cake mix flavors on the market.
