Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans, lining the bottoms with parchment paper.
2
Whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
3
Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract; beat until smooth.
4
Stir in hot coffee or water until the batter is thin and fully combined.
5
Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
6
Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7
Beat butter and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.
8
Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, beating until light and fluffy; stir in vanilla extract.
9
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of peanut butter frosting on top.
10
Stack the second cake layer and frost the top and sides of the whole cake with remaining peanut butter frosting.
11
Heat heavy cream until steaming and pour over chocolate chips; stir until smooth to make a ganache, then let cool slightly.
12
Drizzle the ganache over the top edges of the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
13
Top generously with chopped Reese's peanut butter cups before slicing and serving.
