What was I thinking?


This weekend was the absolute worst weekend for dieting...yes, I am on a diet but let's not talk about that now.....
In addition to the cheesecake I made for Valentine's Day, it was also David's birthday. So in addition to the HUGE cheesecake, I needed to make a birthday cake as well.
I have been wanting to try one of the cakes featured on smittenkitchen's blog for sometime, but have been waiting for an excuse to overload on all that sugar. David's birthday provided the perfect opportunity.
I chose the Chocolate Sour Cream Cake with Peanut Butter Icing and Chocolate Peanut Butter Glaze....WOW, what a mouthful.
Here is a link to smittenkitchen's version http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/08/chocolate-peanut-butter-cake/. She adapted it from the book Sky High: Irresistible Triple-Layer Cakes, which I just purchased on ebay.
I can't wait until it arrives because this cake was fantastic! It tasted very similiar to a giant reeses peanut butter cup.
