Ingredients

For the Peanut Butter Cup Filling:

3 cups creamy peanut butter
2 cups confectioners sugar
¾ cup crushed graham cracker crumbs

For the Garnish:

1 Recipe Peanut Butter Cups

Instructions

TIME SAVING TIP! All recipes can be prepared up to 4 days in advance and then assembled into the whole cake in less than 1 hour.
First prepare the chocolate cake recipe according to that recipe post & bake the batter divided evenly amongst 3-7" cake pans
Meanwhile prepare the ganache recipe according to the instructions on that recipe post
Next make the peanut butter cup filling by grinding the graham crackers in a food processor to fine crumbs
Add the graham cracker crumbs to the peanut butter in a large mixing bowl along with the sifted confectioners sugar
The mixture will resemble a soft dough that you can actually handle & if you watch the video you will see that I pat it out into 2-7" round discs perfect to "plop" right into the cake when I am ready to assemble
Wrap the dough discs loosely & refrigerate them while you prepare the buttercream icing according to the instructions on that post
Assemble the cake as shown in the video tutorial

Notes

Storage Peanut Butter Cup Cake can be left at room temperature as all the recipes are room temperature stable. However if the room gets too warm it could have a tendency to droop & fall over. I recommend to refrigerate the cake at all times & it will have a storage life of 1 week.
