I adore peanut butter - so making this ultimate triple peanut butter cake was so fun! I think the part I enjoyed the most was simply going through all the store aisles getting all the peanut butter and chocolate cookies and candies!

There are 4 different sizes of peanut butter cups, 2 different kinds of cookies, sticks, candies and peanut butter bites. You can go as over overboard as you'd like decorating this once it's done!

PEANUT BUTTER CAKE RECIPE
Cake
1 C granulated sugar (for high altitude 1 Tbsp less)
1 C brown sugar (for high altitude 1 Tbsp less)
3 1/2 C Cake Flour (for high altitude 3 1/2 Tbsp more)
1 Tbsp baking soda (for high altitude 1/2 tsp less)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 C butter softened
4 lrg eggs room temperature
2/3 C sour cream
3/4 C peanut butter
2 Tbsp vanilla
1 C whole milk (for high altitude 1 Tbsp more)
Preheat the oven to 350 (for high altitude 375)
prepare your pans with non stick spray and parchment circles (I used 4 seven inch pans)
in mixer or large bowl mix together then sugars, flour, baking soda and salt
add the softened butter and beat - it will be sandy
in a separate bowl mix the eggs, sour cream, vanilla and peanut butter
add the wet mixture to the dry and beat
while mixing on low add the milk
pour the batter into the prepared pans
bake for 25-30 mins (for high altitude 20-25 mins) - until it bounces back when pressed and is just starting to pull away from the sides
let cool before starting the mousse

Peanut Butter Mousse
1 C heavy whipping cream
2/3 C granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
8 oz cream cheese
1 C peanut butter
Beat the cream, sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form
in another bowl beat the cream cheese, sour cream and peanut butter
add the whipped cream and mix until incorporated

Assembly
level the tops of the cooled cakes
wrap some cake collar acetate https://amzn.to/2NGCdSx evenly around the cake on a cake plate or cardboard circle
add 1/3rd of the mousse, add another layer of cake and repeat (if your acetate isn't tall enough you may need to add another round, I did)
refrigerate until the mousse is set, at least 4 hours

Peanut Butter Cheating Swiss meringue Buttercream Frosting
1/2 C pasteurized liquid egg whites
3 1/2 C powdered sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 2/3 C butter room temperature
1 1/2 Tbsp vanilla
2/3 C Peanut Butter
1/4 C cocoa
In a large mixer with whisks or large bowl with a hand mixer beat the egg whites, sugar and salt for 5 mins
while beating on medium add the butter 1-2 Tbsp at a time
once all the butter is mixed in add the vanilla and peanut butter and beat on medium high another 10 mins
take out 3/4th of the frosting and set aside - add 1/4 C cocoa to the remaining 1/4 of the frosting and beat until totally mixed in
take the cake out of the fridge and unwrap the acetate
frost the top of the cake with the peanut butter frosting
then pipe around the outside of the cake alternating as much or little as you like with the chocolate peanut butter frosting
scrape around the cake smoothing the sides and creating the stripes
let the cake chill 10 mins

Ganache Drip
4 oz high quality chocolate don't use chocolate chips
4 oz heavy whipping cream
bring the cream to a boil and pour over the chocolate
let sit 5 mins then stir until smooth
using a piping bag or squeeze bottle https://amzn.to/2CiK2M7 add the drips around the outside of the cake
then spread the remaining ganache on the top of the cake (without causing extra drips)

Decorations
all the peanut butter and chocolate peanut butter cookies and candies you like
