I have a request for a groom's cake that I will carve into the shape of a beer can.....classy.
Anyway, they wanted it to taste like their favorite....Reese's peanut butter cups.
I looked over the recipes, but I wasn't inspired.....any ideas or recipes out there that you would be willing to share?
Thanks
I haven't tried it but I was just thinking you might be able to freeze some Reese's peanut butter cups. Then crumble them up and put them in the cake batter. I don't know if this would work or not but I thought it might be worth a try.

peanut butter cake with chocolate frosting.
I have made a chocolate cake with peanut butter filling that has broken reese cups in it.
peanut butter, cream cheese, melted cooled chocolate, little bit of powdered sugar all blended together...then fold in bettercreme(about 4 parts bettercreme to 1 part of the pb/cr ch mixture) Set half aside.
with one half:
for filling, add either reese cups frozen(as directed above)then broken, pb chips, or some crushed nutter butter cookies.
The other half:
ice and decorate cake.
ever have a peanut butter pie?
wellllllllllllll.....it's like that only better
actually, if you put the filling into a pie shell, It would be a peanut butter pie.
It is good with butterfingers crushed in it as well...just the center of the bf gets a tad chewy...it's all good though.
If it were for a dessert and not to be decorated like a celebration cake, semi-sweet chocolate ganache poured over the top...takes it to the top level of chocolatey goodness!
RRGibson is right on. Devils' food cake with PB Mousse filling. I made this just last week for my son's friend who had a birthday. They are both Reese's finatics and this had the exact flavor of the real thing. I torted the cake very thin (which was a little difficult because the cake wanted to fall apart a bit) because the filling was a light airy mousse. I carved it in the shape of a pb cup (wider at the top, narrower at the bottom) and was lucky enough to find brown vellum paper at a local scrapbooking store, folded the paper acordian style and pressed it into the iced sides. Perfect giant Reese's cup. Good luck!
wow! that sounds awesome!
I think I am most concerned about the fact that I have to carve it (although, probably not that much since it is a cylinder) But it does have to be tall.....dowels away!
Any ideas on securing a cake that tall? I am thinking maybe 4 cakes tall....about 8" round?
Thanks for allyour support...I am pretty new and I am so glad to have found this site!
