For some reason I've been baking like mad the last week. I baked two brownies, mint chocolate cupcakes and a cake of the same (these were a pretty big hit) and then for my friend's birthday today I made a double layer chocolate cake with creamy peanutbutter frosting. The cake and frosting recipe both came out of the Sinfully Vegan cookbook, which has so far not steered me wrong.
I made the two cake pieces last night. Then I cut off the rounded tops and frosted the first half and added chopped dark chocolate and peanuts:
Then I added the top layer and finished frosting. I used a plastic bag with a hole cut in it to frost around the top edge (which in the end was a little much, decoration wise). I covered the top with more chopped chocolate and peanuts and then pressed the remaining chopped peanuts to the sides of the cake. In the end it looked like this:
And damn was it tasty!

P.S. sorry for the crappy photos. I'll figure out how to take better indoor food photos one of these days. Also my camera lens is kind of dirty and I have nothing to clean it with.
