So today I was having one of those days where you think to yourself stuff it, I’ve been pretty good lately and I most definitely deserve to sit around in my sweats stuffing my face all day with mouthfuls of chocolaty goodness. And that is exactly what I did and how today’s post came about. No regrets what so ever.

This cake is is yum, yum, yum. Kinda like a cross between a brownie and a cake mix but made to fit into a slice tray. A sliaknie maybe? Who knows? You can call it what ever you like as long as you try it cause it is truly amazing and I enjoyed every single bite.

Super moist, rich and buttery this cake has an amazingly soft texture. And because I am obsessed with chocolate I couldn’t resist putting more in, so I added an extra layer of it in the middle. The blobs of gooey peanut butter swirls work like magic adding a great flavor and thick, sticky texture where present.

The best way to enjoy this scrumptious treat is by warming it up and having it with a generous scoop of ice cream or whipped cream or even both. No judgement.
This cake will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container when kept in a cool dry place.
Enjoy.
