Step by Step

Ann made a delish peanut butter chocolate cake while we were in Kentucky. I LOVED it so much I decided I need to make it. I documented the most important steps and I 

will show you how it turned out. 

I decided that I would be very particular and really read the directions. Not skip one step. I was not going to let my, self diagnosed, dyslexia/ADD get in the way of me making this cake.

First things first. Taste the batter to make sure it's good.
After 3 good "finger licking" tests, I figured it was good to go.

Then you must taste the peanut butter frosting. I tasted it several times.
You may need to taste more. It just depends on the baker.... ;)

In the directions on the website, it said to use wax paper and Ann used "tabs" to help get the cake out.
Clearly, I had no clue what that meant. Lets just say, the wax paper baked
 into the sides of the cake. But it was easy to peel off once it cooled. And I only lost a quarter
of an inch off the sides of all 3 cakes. HA!

Then it was time to frost the cake. I did not get the cake perfectly lined up because all the
 sides of all the cakes were gone (oops!).  
And that would be why it is leaning. But, I thought I could fix it with icing....

Then we put on the chocolate peanut butter drizzle.

Looks the same, right?!

Then it split right down in the middle. And no, I did not do that with a knife.
This cake has a mind of its own.

Well, it may not be pretty or score me a spot on the food network; but, it sure was delicious!
