Delicious cake! Had to use a bit more cream for the filling and frosting but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. This recipe is definitely a keeper and I'll be making this many more times. Thanks :)

I made this for my 30th birthday and it was the best cake I've ever had. The only modification I had to make was for the peanut butter filling. It was not creamy enough after following the recipe so I doubled the amount of heavy cream.

Made this for my Dad's 65th Birthday. He loved it. Followed the directions exactly and the cake came out perfect. My almost 5 year old usually never eats the frosting off of anything but this, she only ate the frosting. She did try a bit of the cake, but loved the frosting. I could see how some people would think the filling and frosting is to thick. I didn't mind as I hate frostings and fillings that are too runny. Will definitely make again. Amazing with vanilla ice cream.

I too was very disappointed in the dryness of the cake. I liked the filling, but I did follow another's advice and added more peanut butter and 8 oz of cream cheese. It was light and fluffy then. All in all though it was a disappointment

I've made this recipe a lot. It is so moist and wonderful! I have made a couple of changes after making it the first time. I add more cream to the peanut butter layer and make it in 3 pans instead of two. I also cut each cake into two layers and layer the filling in between every layer making it a six layer cake. It's magnificent!!!!!!

I did the cake portion of this recipe and it was excellent. Reminded me a lot of the "one bowl chocolate cake" on this website...but better. Can be put with any frosing, I did a bundt cake and ate it as is. Very moist and better even the next day.

Yum! Yum! Awesome chocolate cake. Very rich, very moist, and the filling and frostings are delicious. Very impressed. Although some of my cake stuck to my pan (guess spray 'n bake does not work in stead of greasing and flouring pans). The frosting also seemed a bit "heavy" for the cake, or I lathered it on too much because pieces keep on falling off the main cake piece. BUT even though I did not manage to get it looking really pretty, it is incredibly awesome in taste. Going to make it again, for sure!

this was fabulous. it is perfect if you are a peanut butter addict. the filling looked pretty nasty when i was making it - all clumpy and an odd color, but tasted wonderful. i made it for my husband to bring to work for a friend's birthday - and got many compliments!

I made this for my husband's birthday. He loved it. I brought the leftovers to my parents' house. They loved it. It was easy to make, and very moist and flavorful. I used only about 3/4 cup of peanut butter in the filling, and added cream until it reached the consistency I wanted. I made it in three layers instead of two. I had some trouble getting one of the layers out of the pan, but used my old trick of placing an ice pack on the pan, and it came right out.
