I've been wanting to make that cake for a while.
And 2 hours alone at Starbucks, bliss!
that cake was ridiculous. she's right about serving it "in the thinnest slices possible." also, if you ever make it, I left out a whole cup of sugar in the PB frosting. it *definitely* was not missed. and you probably only need about 1/2 the chocolate glaze it calls for! even with all that, it STILL could use a higher ratio of cake to frosting...but it was really good.
also, the batter is SO thin, do not attempt to make it in a springform pan because you only have two regular cake pans. ask me how I know.
