Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

2 cups granulated sugar
1 3/4 cups + 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup oil ((vegetable or canola oil))
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water (, or hot coffee)
1 batch Peanut Butter Frosting
1/2 cup butter ((1 stick), melted)
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (for topping on cake, optional)

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease two 8-inch round baking pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl.
Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
Stir in the boiling water (your batter will be very thin--that's OK!). Pour batter into prepared cake pans.
Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.
Once cakes have cooled, use a sharp serrated knife to cut each cake horizontally in half, so that you end up with four, thin cake rounds.
Place one cake layer on serving plate. Smooth 1/3 of the peanut butter frosting on top of that cake layer. Repeat with the remaining cake layers, adding a layer of peanut butter frosting between each layer of cake.
