Layer Cake with Banana Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Frosting

Layer Cake with Banana Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Frosting -

You guys are there for photos and the recipe right? I mean, I'm sure some people read what I write, but I do not blame you for skimming my real job and simply check the goods- I'm guilty of it sometimes too. I guess what I'm saying is that I spent a little nugget that rose at 4 am today and I'm a little brain deadline for this reason that I will keep this brief. :)

Get better diaper cakes and cake decorating was a major goal for this year. I have already captured a Rose cake, and next on my list was a cake with the same layers, which was smooth and symmetrical. I will not win a cake decorating prices any time soon, but I'm damn proud of this baby!

Every year my birthday, I wonder if I make my own birthday cake and I usually do not. Last year, I was too concerned about our trip to Europe and in the years before typically have a party or a planned event and a cake at home do not seem worth it.

This year, if I lay low I mean you do with a baby five weeks? My mother is coming later this evening will be great and Andy took off work so we can roam the city as a family of three. I'm damn excited for this!

I decided to make my birthday cake with one of my favorite flavor combos of all time, banana, peanut butter and chocolate. The banana cake is moist and delicious, full of mini chocolate chips layered with creamy peanut butter frosting. I cut in a day early for these pictures, but certainly tried to stuff the rear edge and gel around it- (what we do for food blogs!) I had enough dough for a few cupcakes, if although come to taste a little sample and man oh man is good. Maybe just maybe I get some good layers of cake !!
