I'm a chocoholic and my kids love peanut butter, so a sweet slice of this cake is a real treat for all of us. A boxed mix cuts down on preparation time for busy moms like me. -Fran Green, Linden, New Jersey

I use canned frosting to save time...we call it the number 11 cake...better than a ten!

frosting was a mess, maybe whipping it first would have helped, its just running all over the place

I made this for my co-workers and it was a huge hit. Everyone who tried it loved it and it was super easy to make.

I made this cake with a dark chocolate boxed cake mix and it was great. I think next time I will add a bit more peanut butter since I am addicted to it. It was very easy to make.

I am wondering about the nutritional values also.  Have they been posted?

My family loves this cake, but to save time I use store-bought chocolate frosting and no one is the wiser! It is definitely at its best if made a day ahead of time.

I think this recipe failed to include a key step for making the icing: you have to whip the whipping cream icing after you take it out of the fridge. Otherwise it is all runny instead of fluffy.
