Over the years I have made him different cakes, here are a couple.
My husband LOVES peanut butter, it has got to the stage where we can not really have it in the house very often as it does not last more than a couple of days. He does eat it straight from the jar! When I saw this amazing looking Double Chocolate-Peanut Butter Layer Cake with Caramel Popcorn cake from topwithcinnamon.com I knew I had to make something like it.
I changed the main cake recipe as I have a tried and tested chocolate cake recipe that I always use so I used that but used her recipe for the peanut butter filling and the chocolate glaze. If like me you are slightly addicted to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups then you will be pleased to know that the peanut butter filling tastes the same as the middle of these so I now know how to make my own!
As I said I wanted to make a cake that was going to be a challenge to me and I have never made a tiered cake before, having played it safe all these years with cupcakes and basic large cakes. I decided to be a bit different and have a square bottom tier and then a found top tier (mainly because of my collection of cake tins)
It was much easier than I thought it would be and I was very pleased with how it turned out.
We spent bank holiday Monday with the family and we all brought some food for lunch, the deal was to bring something sweet and something savoury, which we all did.
