Chocolate Peanut Layer Cake

---

I love this recipe, it is rich and a supreme combination of chocolate and peanut butter- even better than those peanut butter cups. I was at home watching a tv cooking show when this came on.

---

Steps

---

Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl.

---

Beat on slow speed for 3 minutes.

---

Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.

---

Bake in a moderate oven for 45 minutes.

---

Cool cake before cutting into 3 layers.

---

Line tin with enough cling film to cover the whole cake.

---

Melt chocolate in a pan , remove pan from the stove and stir in cream , just enough to combine.

---

If you over stir the cream / chocolate it will make the cream go icky.

---

Add peanut butter and nutella and stir through.

---

Leave gnash on the bench to cool.

---

Spread enough gnash on the bottom and middle layers , so that they stick together.

---

Spread the rest of the gnash on the top and sides of the cake.

---

Cover the cake with the glad wrap and return to the fridge for at least 2 hours , over night is even better.

---

And there you have a beautiful cake.
