Cover the peanut butter batter with the rest of the chocolate batter. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes test cake to be sure no wet batter comes out on your cake tester. Once baked set out to cool for 10 minutes then invert onto a plate, the cake slides right out! Cool cmpletely & now make that topping!
CHOCOLATE GANACHE:
8 OZ Semi Sweet Baking Chocolate broken up into pieces.
4 TBS Butter
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
Heat over medium low heat in a heavy sauce pan the chocolate & the butter stirring the whole time. Once melted & smooth whisk in the heavy cream until you have thick chocolate heavenly gloss! Spoon liberally over the cooled cake.
PEANUT BUTTER DRIZZLE
1/3 Cup Peanut Butter heat in microwave on medium power for 45 seconds. Peanut Butter will be runny & just right to drizzle over that chocolate! Once drizzled I sprinkled chopped peanuts over the cake. You could sprinkle with chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, chopped up Reeses Peanut Butter Cups or let the toppings cool & sprinkle with chocolate curls. YUMMERS!
