PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE GOOEY BUTTER CAKE

We spent the day with friends swimming, playing cornhole, passing babies around, and eating copious amounts of really good food. You know…the kind of day where you’re not so concerned that naptime is being missed or that your diet has just gone out the window. A day that’s full of sunscreen and dotted with cake batter truffles. It ended with sunkissed cheeks, baths, and The Sandlot in jammies.

It was a good day.

If you’ve ever had gooey butter cake you know that it’s a melt in your mouth slice of heaven. It’s super rich; a small slice will do ya.

Can you believe I almost forgot the stick of butter in the filling. That would be a not so gooey butter cake. Peanut Butter Chocolate Gooey Butter Cake | The Girl Who Ate Everything

The hardest part will be waiting for these to cool. If you have any sort of self-discipline, a good 4-5 hours is suitable for cooling. Guess how long I waited?
