We had 2 birthdays to celebrate at work, and you better believe I volunteered pretty fast to make a treat for all of us. It was time for cake. It should always be time for cake.
The problem was, I volunteered the day before we needed the cake, and we had an activity
that night, and some errands, plus the usual dinner/hysterical playtime/PLEASE
everyone go to bed now so I can too time, and so I had no time to go to the store;
I needed to make something with whatever I had on hand.
I grabbed my Bon Appetit cookbook off the shelf because I remembered from my
testing how many wonderful desserts there were. My first two picks had to be no'ed
because I didn't have all the ingredients.
I landed on this super easy kitchen staple ready Chocolate and Peanut Butter Streusel Cake.
I know!
In less than an hour the cake was out of the oven and cooling, and because of the streusel
topping I didn't have to ice it, another bonus. I was a bit worried that the edges were going
to be rock hard as I'd had to add some extra cooking time, but the cake stayed nice and
moist, which was a real bonus as it was a huge cake that lasted a long time.
