The ultimate sinful cake is here!
Loaded with chocolate and peanut butter and lots of love.

Sometimes
you just need a good cake to get you through a busy week! Nothing beats a
sweet, sinful bite after dinner when it’s been a busy day.
Last week
was Homecoming for us and with two kids in high school and one kid in middle
school, the number of activities we had on our schedule was a bit insane – but
always fun! Between football and volleyball + parades, skits, dress up days and
not to mention the big DANCE with dates, it was a very full week.
But we had
this cake to come home to after – which made the end of the day feel like a
treat!
AE Dairy and I wanted to feature their chocolate milk – which is always a staple at our
house. I try and never let it run out!
It is like
reliving your childhood drinking this milk. Every person in our family – all 5
of us – love this milk. I often tell people it’s like drinking melted chocolate
ice cream, it really is that rich and creamy. We love the whole milk variety (it also comes in 2% and skim). It’s
a great addition to any breakfast or an after-workout snack. One cup has 8
grams of protein!
On top of
having an ice cold glass of this milk, I also use it in baking. This week it’s
cake! But I’ve also used it in my Chocolate Croissant Breakfast Bake and my kid approved Dirt Cups.
Have you
ever made a poke cake?
They are
incredibly easy and have just a few simple steps. You bake the cake as normal
(in this case replacing the water with AE Dairy’s chocolate milk) and then let it cool. Once cool you
“poke” holes all over the cake. This creates little pockets for the next layer
to seep into.
In this case
that “seepy” layer is a combination of peanut butter and sweetened condensed
milk.
After
spending some time in the fridge, you then layer on the topping – whipped cream
folded into some of that leftover filling. It creates a sweet fluffy layer on
the top.
Once all the
layers have been added you pop this cake bake in the fridge to set up a bit and
patiently wait until it’s time to dive in.
If you have
any peanut butter and chocolate fans in your house, tell them to prepare
themselves. This one is magical.
It’s rich
and creamy, yet light and fluffy all at the same time. I personally think it
gets better the longer it sits in the fridge.
This cake
may become a birthday staple, or a holiday staple. Once people have it, they
never forget it! It’s the perfect cake to make for any occasion. It’s very
forgiving and can be kept cold for days in the fridge only getting better.
Have a party
to go to?
BRING IT.
