🥜 Gooey Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake 🥜

"A Slice of Heaven for Every Chocolate-Peanut Butter Lover!"

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and beat on medium speed until well combined.
4. Gradually pour in the boiling water, reducing the mixer speed to low. Once incorporated, increase to high speed and beat for about 1 minute to aerate the batter.
5. Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. For the frosting, beat together peanut butter and softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Incorporate the heavy cream and beat until the frosting is fluffy.
8. Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a serving plate, spreading peanut butter frosting over it, and repeating with the remaining layers.
9. Garnish the top of the cake with chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.
