Peanut Butter Chocolate Layer Cake
29 Oct
Recently I got the opportunity to review some baking products from Naturally Nora. I asked them to send me the cake and frosting mixes necessary to make their recipe, Peanut Butter Chocolate Layer Cake. My husband chose this one to fill his sweet tooth craving, and I must admit, chocolate and peanut butter is one of the best dessert flavor combinations.
Naturally Nora products are all-natural baking mixes, which include brownie, cake, and frosting mixes. They are made entirely from all natural ingredients, and do not contain any artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, or hydrogenated oils and can be prepared dairy or soy-free. It is hard to find boxed cake mixes that do not contain a long list of crazy ingredients, and I must say, Naturally Nora fills this void very well.
The Peanut Butter Chocolate Layer Cake came out very well. The cake is just as moist as any other boxed cake mix I have used before. The frosting is without a doubt, what makes the cake. It tastes exactly like the peanut butter filling in Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. It is also just as thick. The consistency of my frosting may have been due to the fact that I used a natural peanut butter, which can be a bit thicker then regular creamy, but I still think you would end up with a pretty thick frosting. Be sure to keep a large glass of milk nearby when eating this cake, it is sweet and delicious.

Wow! This looks incredibly delish. I would PAY for this and I love that it’s an easy mix.
