Peanut Cream Cake

Life Magazine July 1939

National Peanut Day was earlier this week but I got more peanutness to share!

"Here's a pal to summer desserts!'

I have to agree!  It was a pal to me by being so easy to make and absolutely delicious! I made it even more simple by using a pre-fab chocolate cake mix and just iced it with the easy recipe for Peanut Cream Frosting in the ad.

 I kinda made this dessert before using the same technique of shortcuts for a Teacher Appreciation Luncheon back in 2018.  The one I made then was a bunt cake and I covered it in a peanut butter drizzle and chopped peanuts.  This attempt is as close as I am going to get to following the original recipe and look.  The flavor is so good, like a cake version of a Reese's cup!
