7 Layer Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake

Now this is what I call the ultimate celebration dessert. Not only is it delicious to eat, it’s easy on the eyes as well.

Seven layers of peanut butter cake is sandwiched together using a delicious chocolate frosting and topped with smooth ganache and crunchy peanut butter chocolate truffles.

Sounds good doesn’t it?

Now add a few sparklers on top and your 4th of July dessert is served!

Ta-da!

For me, celebrating the 4th of July is both a pleasure but an honor as well.

As an immigrant, living here in the USA is a dream come true since I get to experience freedom, progress, and opportunity.

I am very proud to be an American.

This year, we are celebrating it at home with close family members. For dessert, I’ll be serving this colossal 7 Layer Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake with maybe some chocolate chip cookies on the side.

The nutty original flavor comes from an unlikely source:  cereal. It’s not only a breakfast item, but also an amazing flavoring and texturing agent.

That’s right, I used a big helping of the new Peanut Butter & Cocoa PEBBLES in my cake.

Enjoy a crispy rice cereal with the irresistible tastes of real peanut butter and real cocoa to create an explosion of flavor in your mouth. Pick up a few boxes in a store near you.

To make this 7-layer dream, you don’t need multiple identical cake molds. Since I only had three 8″ cake pans, they took turns in the oven.

When the first 3 layers were ready, I waited 10 minutes, unmolded, washed, and baked the next three. finally, I cleaned the last mold to bake my 7th layer.

Since the layers were thin, each cake only took 10 – 12 minutes in the oven. So it didn’t take long for my 7 layers to be baked and ready.
