Reece's PB Chocolate Cake

This is my "semi-homemade" version of a cake I had a few weeks ago. That original recipe is listed here.
1 devils food cake mix(follow the box instructions, but add 1/2 c. creamy PB)
Divide into two 9" cake pans
Bake as instructed on the box. Cool and invert.

Since this is a 2-layer cake, I figured I needed a middle filling so I made this up:
1 bag peanut butter chips (like chocolate chips, but they are PB!)
1/2 c. milk
Heat over double boiler till PB chips are melted. Remove from heat and add about 1 c. pow sugar chill for about an hour - it will have a glaze consistency. Then, whisk in creamy peanut butter until you have a good almost pudding consistency.

Use as filling between the two cakes and then frost with this:

1 can of duncan hines Buttercream Chocolate frosting beat w/ 1/4 c. milk

Top with broken or quartered Reece's PB cups

YUMM!!!!

Cheesecake

This cheesecake will make others think you bought it. It's THAT good. Very creamy, tasty and FAT. **I love the crust, so I double the thickness by doubling the crust recipe.**

Combine:
1 c. graham cracker crumbs
3 T. sugar
3 T. melted butter
Press into 9" Springform pan, bake at 350 for 10 min.

Beat till well blended:
5- 8 oz pkgs softened cream cheese

1 T. vanilla
Add, and mix well:
1 c. sour cream
Add 1 at a time, slowly until well blended
4 eggs

Pour filling over crust. Bake at 325 approx 1 hour, 5 min till center is almost set. Cool before serving. NOTE: The cheese cake with rise significantly in the oven and probably crack around the edges - don't worry - it tastes marvelous!

Apple Cake

***You can also make this into any combination of fruit/cake dessert. So far, I've tried cherry pie filling with chocolate cake & blueberry pie filling with white cake. I obviously ommitted the cinnamon/sugar and opted for nuts instead in the middle.***
