Cake Me Home Tonight (Chocolate and Peanut Butter Mousse Cake)
Materials
Cake- 2, 9-inch rounds
- Your favorite chocolate cake mix Do not use 'Super Moist'
- Ingredients required by the cake mix
Peanut Butter Mousse
- ¾ cup Peanut Butter
- 2 oz Softened cream cheese
- ¼ cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Marshmellow Fluff
- ¼ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- ½ cup Sour Cream
Frosting
- 1 tub Chocolate Frosting
- 1 17.6 oz Family Pack Reese's Unwrapped Mini Peanut Butter Cups
Instructions
Cake
- Use cooking spray and a dusting of flour to prepare cake pans
- Bake 2 9-inch chocolate cakes as directed by the box instructions
- Test each cake with a toothpick to ensure the cake centers are fully cooked, (if the toothpick comes out clean, your cake is done)
- Allow the cakes to cool
Peanut Butter Mousse
- Combine all Mousse ingredients until fully blended
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
Cake topping
- Carefully place 1st cake on the cake stand
- Cover 1st cake with a thick coating of cooled mousse. Taper the mousse so that there is only a thin coat near the outer edge
- Place 2nd round on top of the Peanut Butter Mousse
- Cover the cake in the Chocolate frosting. It doesn't have to be perfect since you are covering the icing in mini peanut butter cups
- Cut half of the Peanut Butter cups in half and half of the cups into quarters
- Place them in all directions, all over the cake. If used wisely, there should be no issue with a 17.6 oz candy pack covering the cake
- Refrigerate the cake until you are ready to serve

Would recommend regular chocolate cake mix, rather than one of the ‘Super Moist’ varieties. The Mousse already gives the cake plenty of moisture.
Mix up the look by only putting candy on top.
Peanut Butter Lover? The PB Mousse is the best Peanut Butter Mousse you can serve. Put it in dessert cups and serve with a few mini Reese’s cups on top.
Sprinkle Reese’s Pieces on top of the cake for additional color
