This recipe is great because you can make either a cake or 8 parfaits. The peanut butter mousse filling in the cake really makes it rich and unique. Ingredients:
1 (18.25-ounce) package devil's food cake mix without pudding |
2 1/2 cups whipping cream, divided |
1 (10-ounce) package peanut butter morsels |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 tablespoon butter or margarine |
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate morsels |
garnish: chopped roasted peanuts |
Directions:
1. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour into 2 lightly greased 8-inch round cakepans. Bake according to package directions. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely.
2. Combine 2/3 cup whipping cream and peanut butter morsels in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until morsels melt and mixture is smooth; remove saucepan from heat. Stir in vanilla extract, and cool 25 minutes.
3. Beat 1 1/3 cups whipping cream at high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Stir one-third whipped cream into peanut butter mixture. Fold into remaining whipped cream. Spread between cake layers; cover and chill.
4. Bring remaining 1/2 cup whipping cream and 1 tablespoon butter to a boil in a small saucepan. Add chocolate morsels; remove from heat, and let stand 5 minutes. Stir until morsels melt and mixture is smooth.
5. Pour glaze over cake; garnish, if desired. Serve warm, or chill and serve at room temperature.
