Can someone please make summer stick around for a few more months? While you're at it, let's just go ahead and do two months of spring, seven months of summer, two months of fall and one month of winter with lots of snow.
Kthanks.
I'm having weather feelings because today we bought school shoes and backpacks for the girls - they go back to school in less than two weeks. That. Is. Not. OK. Even though I love me some fall weather, I am so not ready to let go of summer. Kansas is a great place to live if you want all four seasons, but I'd like a little less winter and a little more summer. Hear me, Mother Nature?
So, while I have tons of great fall recipes lined up for you over the next few months, I'm just not quite ready for pumpkin - I'm sticking with peanut butter and chocolate. Not that that's necessarily a "summer" flavor, but it's not distinctly fall, either...so, yeah. Weather feelings apparently don't translate to baking rationale.
Whatever. I think I spent too much time in the sun today. I'm not making any sense.
Let's talk about this cake. It's really fantastic - very dense, very chocolaty, very peanut-buttery. The combo of both peanut butter and chocolate ganache on top are (literally) the frosting on the cake and bring it all together. It's an intense flavor, so if you love your PB&chocolate, you're set. Either way, make sure you have a glass of milk nearby, 'cause you'll need it.
This recipe isn't terribly quick - but it's also not complicated so don't let it deter you! The batters are both easy to put together, and the ganache is actually WAY easier than other frostings, so just do it.

Plus, if you have a peanut butter lover in your life, this will earn you some major points.
Make sure you completely butter your bundt pan, and then coat it with flour. It *SHOULD* come right out if you make sure you cover all of the creases and crevices. And nothing makes me happier than a cake that comes right out of the pan like it's supposed to.
My life is super-exciting, guys. Clearly.
Get your milk ready and whip this up, ASAP! And let me know what you think - I love comments!
