How to Make Chocolate Peanut Torte
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 2 large eggs, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup boiling water until smooth.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
- **For the Peanut Butter Filling:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups milk and 1 package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix for 2 minutes until smooth.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup peanut butter with ¼ cup milk until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually whisk the melted peanut butter mixture into the pudding until well combined.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set.
- **For the Fudge Topping:** In a medium bowl, melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and ½ cup butter in a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth and glossy.
- Let the fudge cool slightly until it’s spreadable.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost one layer with the peanut butter filling. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire torte with the fudge topping.
