Peanut Butter Tandy Cake

Peanut Butter Tandy Cake – Delicious sponge cake topped with a layer of peanut butter and chocolate ganache. Just like the tasty cakes you enjoy, make them at home.

Another delicious dessert brought to you by Brooklynne. That would be my 12 year old. Several weeks ago she shared a delicious cupcake recipe with us and this time she’s back with something chocolate and peanut butter. Which always ends up being a winner, right?

How many of you are familiar with the famous chocolate peanut butter cake twin packs? Born and raised in Philadelphia, I can say that these have been a part of my childhood for a long time. I have eaten way too many in my day.

But since focusing on healthier homemade baked goods for my family the past 10 years, I’ve given up packaged cakes. And these were one of the sweets I missed.

Of course I missed them. We’re talking a delicious sponge cake with a layer of peanut butter wrapped in a chocolate ganache. What’s not to love and miss? Right?

Are you a chocolate and peanut butter fan? I can surely hook you up with some other fabulous recipes here on the blog and beyond. How about this delicious smoothie with the chocolate and pb combo? Or what about some fine and dandy cupcakes. These are so amazing with that swirl!

1x2x3x

• 1 1/2 cups sugar

• Melt chocolate chips in microwave in microwave safe bowl.
• Spread melted chocolate over cooled cake. Cut into bars before chocolate is completely set.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the amount of peanut butter to your liking. I like a thin layer. But it would be no problem to just smear on a bit extra if you like more of a peanut butter taste.
