Ingredients
  

Cake

Frosting:

  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup soft butter
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ⅔ cup whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Prepare cake according to directions on box. Bake in 2 greased and floured 9" round pans. Cool completely.
  • For frosting: Beat together butter, peanut butter, vanilla and salt. Add powdered sugar and enough cream to reach spreading consistency.
  • To assemble: Place one cake layer on a plate, flat side up. Spread with a layer of frosting. If desired, sprinkle with a few finely chopped Reese's peanut butter cups.
  • Top with remaining cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake. Decorate with halved Reese's peanut butter cups.
  • Finely chop any remaining peanut butter cups and sprinkle them in the center.

Notes

You will have leftover peanut butter cups if you buy the 40 oz bag of peanut butter cups, but I find the smaller bag doesn't have quite enough.
