Thank you, Peanut Butter & Cocoa Pebbles for sponsoring this incredibly sweet post
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.
I hope you can try this delicious 7 layer Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet.
