During this past summer, Emillie (DD#1) was invited to a birthday party. The cake was this to die for Peanut Butter Cake. I asked the person that made it where she got the recipe. So I got it from her :) Since then i have been waiting for the perfect time to bake this amazing cake.

Emillie's 8th birthday is just around the corner (Dec30) so its the perfect time. We are celebrating her birthday tomorrow evening at MIL & FIL's house. Then she will have her big party in a week.

Anyway, I want so badly to dig into this cake, it is making me drool!! I just had to share with you :)
