Now this Chocolate Peanut Butter Salted Caramel Toffee Cake is a game-changer for a chocolate cake recipe, and this super easy cake is a great option for when you don’t feel like baking but want to present something FABULOUS!!!!
Ingredients:
- 2 boxes devil’s food cake mix (prepared according to box directions)
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese
- 1 stick butter, room temperature
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups chocolate covered toffee pieces, divided (Heath toffee bits used)
- Salted caramel ice cream topping for drizzle
How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake:
- Two-Layer Cake: Use two 10-inch cake pans and divide the cake batter equally between them.
- Three-Layer Cake: Use three 8-inch cake pans and divide the cake batter equally between them.
- Bake the chocolate cakes, according to the box directions.
- While the cakes are cooling, it’s a great time to mix up the frosting, and chill it in the fridge if you like.
Peanut Butter Frosting with Cream Cheese
- Mix together the cream cheese, butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and milk in a separate bowl. Mix in one cup of toffee bits into the mixture. (Chill for 10-15 minutes if desired, to create a firmer texture for spreading) ** SEE BELOW** Frost one cake with the peanut butter cream cheese mixture. Stack other cake on top and frost the top with the mixture.
- Two-Layer Cake: Divide the frosting into two portions and top each layer and then coat the top layer with the frosting and then the Salted Caramel, followed by the Toffee Bits.
- Three-Layer Cake: Frost the bottom two layers and use only the Salted Caramel and Toffee Bits on the top layer.
Salted Caramel
- On the top layer of the cake drizzle on your Salted Caramel. I bought the Smucker’s salted caramel ice cream topping, but any will do!
Toffee Bits
- The toffee pieces are my kryptonite. Sprinkle the remaining half on the top to cover the salted caramel.
