Peanut butter and cake together is always a winning combination!

You can get even more creative with toppings, such as chocolate shavings, a chocolate drizzle or even candy of your choice (like Reeses!) 

This cake is so crazy good it should come with a warning label! – Dangerously delicious!

Beautifully drizzled glaze is gracefully seeping down the sides

and topped with sweet peanut butter frosting – its heaven on earth!
