Completing our Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cake
This cake has been on my mind since January. You see, my husband is a HUGE peanut butter and chocolate fan! He Love, love, loves it! So, this was ultimately his very belated birthday cake. And what a cake it was!
Decadent Chocolate Cake with a two cup disk of peanut butter cookie dough sandwiched in the middle. Then I made a peanut butter frosting and added mini chocolate chips to the outside. It turned out wonderful!
I was taking photos of the cake around noon and offered my husband a slice. He usually passes on my dessert or just takes a small bite, but for this cake, he got a fork and a glass of Ice Wine and just devoured it! He commented that he had a Mouth-gasim! Or was it mouthgasmic? Either way, I’m pretty sure he enjoyed it!
This cake turned out even better than I ever expected. We didn’t sing Happy Birthday and there were no candles for Mr. Quart, but he loved his cake. You have got to try this combination!
I was torn between a chocolate frosting and a peanut butter one, but I sure am convinced that made the right choice!
I was so proud of myself when I sliced into this cake to see this perfect center of cookie dough. I had never done this before, but I think from now on, this is the only way I’m going to “frost” the center of a cake.
To slice the perfect piece of cake, place the entire cake in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour. Then immediately slice. I don’t think I’ve ever cut a cake and had it turn out this perfect before. Cheers for Karyn!!
Now, make this cake and serve it up with a sweet dessert wine or a big glass of milk!

You go Girl!! Love your recipes!!!!
Thanks so much, Mom Love you!
Oh my gosh. That looks amazing. And my husband really loves peanut butter/chocolate too (though I’m the Reese’s fan). He likes an intense PB flavor with an intense dark chocolate flavor. I prefer the over-processed, supersweet stuff instead.
I think that the frosting adds a lot of sweetness to the cake. The cookie dough is sweet as well. I have a feeling that both of you would enjoy this cake!
The cake is beautiful and the flavor combination is great! What I like best is how your break down a time consuming process into very manageable chunks. Thanks! I am going to try to adapt your individual parts of this cake into cupcake form for an event that requires transporting the treats.
Thanks so much. This cake could be done in one day, but I have so many other things going on that it’s just easier to break it down over three days. Good luck with your cupcakes. I’d love to have you share them on my Facebook page!
Oh wow! Yum!
