Peanut Butter Mousse Reese's Cup Cheesecake Cake (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

[gringalicious]

I got a little carried away guys………….

So, for those that follow me, I know I warned you all a few weeks ago that this time of year means back to back birthdays for my family. Hopefully you’re okay with this and with me posting another cake recipe today. Although, come on, look at this monstrosity of chocolatey, peanut butter goodness and tell me who wouldn’t be okay with it. Like for reals?

I made my own peanut butter cups for the purpose and found the best short cut to do it too. I did them slab style by spreading melted chocolate in a pan, then the peanut butter filling, then chocolate again, and chilling in between each layer. Then once it was solid I was able to quickly chop it into cubes and now I have to say I’m pretty proud of my own genius. This was a life-changing discovery and now I’m super excited about all the possibilities it holds!

But anyway, this cake is four different repeating layers of goodness. Firstly, there’s my favorite chocolate cake recipe and I filled it with some leftover java chips I had from these cookies (or you can use regular chocolate chips). Second, is the peanut butter mousse that acts as the frosting between layers and is oh so amazingly fluffy!

Okay, and third you’ve got the actual cheesecake layer, but wait it’s not just plain vanilla bean, you stuff it with big chunks of peanut butter cups! And then after you’ve got all the layers together you top it with a layer of dark chocolate and a huge pile of more peanut butter cups. Tell me you’re not drooling about now!

I’ll admit that it takes a little more time and patience than a basic cake or cheesecake to get it all together, but man is it worth it! It’s also a pretty huge amount of cake so if you’re only making it for a smaller group I’d suggest only doing half the amount and either keeping it at a single layer of cake and cheesecake or baking them in 5 or 6 inch pans.

Basically, I just couldn’t wait to share this one because you’ve got to try it! It’s every Reese’s lover’s dream come true.

Happy Monday @

[majidawan]

Delicious with awesome pictures!

[gringalicious]

Thanks!

[jaymorebeet]

This is legit over the top! Seriously this massive cake would totally be something to order for a birthday dessert out. Did you have to hold your breath when transferring the cheesecake layers to assemble? How on earth did you do such delicate transfers!!?

[gringalicious]

let's just say that 'delicate transfers' may or may not have transpired. We'll keep that our little secret - LOL. Thanks for the awesome commenting @jaymorebeet

[jaymorebeet]

Hahh - that's why they invented frosting amirite?!

[danijel1984]

I adore cake with a lot of chocolate

[gringalicious]

You and me both @danijel1984. Thanks for commenting

[susanne]

On a Monday??? This is going to ruin my week calorie-wise! Hahah

[gringalicious]

perhaps I should have saved it for a Friday you think? Less calories on Fridays maybe? LOL. thanks so much for stopping by and commenting @susanne

[tasteepleasures]

yummy

[gringalicious]

thanks

[phamished]

Wow that is a huge cake but so detailed as well!! For real though...how long did it take to finish it and how many people were eating it lol

[gringalicious]

It took a while to finish. I normally don't say how long, but I don't want people to get discouraged. I always take longer any way, because I am always taking notes and experimenting to compose the recipe. If someone follows my recipe, they will complete if faster than me for sure. I have a huge family so there is never a concern of who is going to eat this, that's always taken care of.

[phamished]

Oh no sorry my bad, I must not have expressed the question clearly, I meant to say, how long did it take to finish eating the cake!! Only because it looked huge and could feed about 20 lol not how long to finish making it - I agree, definitely don't want to discourage anyone.

[cobmaximus]

You are dangerous in the kitchen! Making all that great food, it would be difficult to stay in shape xD

[gringalicious]

Dangerous, I've been called that before. Thanks for comenting @cobmaximas
