CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA CAKE
From "Cake Mix Magic." Uses a devil's food cake mix (a nice change from the yellow cake mix seen in other recipes for similar cakes). Basically, a chocolate banana cake with chocolate peanut butter glaze. Yum. The author notes that chunky peanut butter can be used for the glaze if desired but will not produce a smooth satiny glaze. Prep time is an estimate.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA CAKE (AKA: ELVIS CAKE)
Elvis was famous for loving peanut butter and banana sandwiches. We were married on his birthday, so this creation is in his honor. Chocolate added for Buddha and well,... Bird's just nutty! :) Great with a tall glass of cold milk.

Steps:
- FROSTING: With an electric mixer beat together the butter and peanut butter until smooth. Slowly mix/beat in the powdered sugar and milk until frosting reaches a spreadable consistency. Add mashed banana and mix thoroughly (it's okay if it has small lumps of banana in it. Chill until needed.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 2 9" round pie pans with bakers ease (or grease and flour pans). Set aside.
- CAKE: In a medium bowl and with an electric mixer, beat the peanut butter, sliced banana, oil and water together on medium speed until mostly smooth or only a few very small pieces of banana are visible. On low speed beat in the egg, cocoa powder and the cake mix. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for 1 minute or until batter is well blended, adding more water if needed (batter will be thick). If using, gently fold in peanuts.
- Spoon an equal amount of batter into each round, Bake on center rack for 15-20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center of cakes comes out clean. Cool on rack.
- Remove frosting from fridge while cake is cooling. Frost cake when ready. Sprinkle the top and/or sides with an even amount of the chopped peanuts. Garnish the top of with a dried banana chip for each slice. Refrigerate until serving. Note, you can also make cupcakes or a sheetcake if you choose. Keep refrigerated.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be. You can use green bananas, but expect your cake to be less sweet and have a less pronounced banana flavor.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Fold in the dry ingredients gradually. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and will be dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
