This is my mom's favorite. The cake is soft because of the sour cream and the peanut butter frosting allows it to not be as rich as most chocolate cakes

The frosting was way too buttery, didn't have much of a peanut butter flavor. I ended up adding an extra 1/4 cup peanut butter, but it still didn't have enough flavor.

I've made this several times, and even used the cake recipe to bake cupcakes. It's delicious either way. Very moist and tender.

I only made the frosting but had to post because it is to die for! Highly reccoment it. Now with a cup of butter and a cup of peanut butter I don't even want to know the calories or fat grams. But for a special occasion it is truely worth it.

This cake had made me famous with my husband's co-workers. I've gotten fequent requests to make it and for the recipe. The cake is so moist with just the right chocolate intensity. The frosting is to die for. I've make it multiple times and it always turns out great.

I modified this by substituting a cake mix, omitting the chopped peanuts but added chopped peanut butter cups on top. Less messy, but everyone loved it. The frosting is great!
