**Kraft Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 cup boiling water
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1/2 cup butter, softened
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until well combined.
4. Stir in the boiling water slowly. The batter will be thin but don’t worry, that’s normal.
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. While the cakes cool, prepare the peanut butter frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
8. Gradually add the heavy cream until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
9. Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost the top of one cake layer with a generous amount of peanut butter frosting. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
10. For an extra touch, you can drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the cake or sprinkle with chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor.
11. Slice the cake and serve to your delighted guests who will surely love the irresistible combination of chocolate and peanut butter in this delightful dessert.
