GIANT CUP-CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and lightly flour four 8-inch cake pans and one 9-inch tempered glass mixing bowl.
• Prepare the vanilla cupcake or cake mix batter. Mix the crushed sandwich cookies into the batter.
• Fill a 9-inch tempered glass mixing bowl halfway with batter. Divide the remaining batter among the cake pans, filling them about halfway up the sides. Bake the cake layers for 35 to 40 minutes and the cake "dome" in the mixing bowl for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove and let cool completely.
• Use a serrated knife to level the tops of the cake layers and the flat side of the cake dome (the dome will be inverted so that the rounded side forms the top of the cake). Measure an 8-inch cardboard cake round against the bottom of the dome and trim the round as needed so the cake sits just inside the cardboard.
• Stack the cake layers, spreading about 1/2 cup of the milk chocolate buttercream between each layer. Set the stacked cake on an untrimmed 8-inch cardboard cake round. Spread a small amount of milk chocolate buttercream on the top cake layer and top with the trimmed cardboard cake round, pressing down gently to adhere. Add a dab of milk chocolate buttercream on top of the cake round and invert the domed cake, trimmed-side down, onto it. Using the serrated knife, trim the stacked cake layers below the dome at an angle to come to a slightly narrower bottom (this should look like the tapered sides of a cupcake). Spread milk chocolate buttercream evenly around the sides of the trimmed cake where the "cupcake wrapper" would be. Frost the top of the cake with Champagne buttercream, making a swirled and wavy pattern.
• Cut the Pirouette cookies to the height of the "cupcake wrapper" and place next to each other around the outside of the cake. Sprinkle with multicolored sprinkles, top with a maraschino and serve!
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.
• In another medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until light and foamy, about 2 minutes. While beating, gradually pour in the melted butter and then the vanilla.
• While mixing slowly, add half of the flour mixture. Then add all the milk, followed by the remaining flour mixture; take care not to overmix the batter.
• Cream the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a handheld electric mixer). On low speed, beat in the powdered sugar and then the salt. Add the vanilla, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 tablespoons milk; adjust the consistency with extra milk as desired.
• Melt the chocolate, then fold it into the buttercream. Use immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days. Allow to come to room temperature and beat on medium-high until smooth.

GIANT CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUP

Steps:

• Spray inside of tart pan ring with nonstick spray. Wrap removable bottom of pan with plastic wrap; gather excess plastic underneath (it should be smooth on top of removable bottom). Set inside ring.
• Heat chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (bowl should not touch water), stirring, until melted. Remove from heat and, stirring constantly, add oil. Let cool, stirring occasionally, until chocolate mixture firms slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Pour a little less than half of chocolate mixture into prepared pan; reserve remaining chocolate mixture at room temperature. Tilt pan until bottom is evenly coated. Chill until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, purée peanuts, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and salt in a food processor, scraping bowl often, until mixture forms a large mass around the blade that sticks together; do not overprocess or mixture will be too soft and greasy.
• Transfer peanut mixture to a large sheet of wax paper. Press firmly into a disk 1/4" smaller than diameter of tart pan, about 9 3/4", until no cracks remain. Carefully invert disk into tart pan, centering it. Peel off and discard wax paper.
• Pour reserved chocolate mixture (it should be the consistency of fudge sauce) over center of peanut disk. Tilt pan to spread completely over the top, filling the gap between edges of pan and disk, until smooth. Chill until firm, about 45 minutes.
• Remove sides of tart pan. Carefully lift tart off bottom of pan, then slide onto a platter while removing plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature 10 minutes, then cut into wedges.

GIANT CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the cookie cake layers: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 4 8-inch round cake pans with nonstick spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed for about 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix for 1 minute more, until incorporated.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
• Divide the dough evenly between the prepared cake pans, spreading evenly to cover the bottoms of the pans completely.
• Bake the cookie cakes for 15-20 minutes, or until they have firmed up and start to pull away from the sides of the pans. It's okay if they are a bit soft in the centers, but not runny; they will continue to firm up as they cool. Let the cookie cakes cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Make the peanut butter frosting: Add the butter and Skippy® Creamy Peanut Butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix on low speed until incorporated. Add the vanilla, salt, and milk, and whip on medium speed for 3-5 minutes, or until very light and fluffy. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
• Assemble the cookie cake: Pipe a small amount of frosting onto the center of a plate or cake stand, then place a cookie cake layer on top to secure. Pipe the frosting on top of the cookie in a spiral pattern to cover completely. Repeat with the remaining cake layers and frosting, finishing with a thin layer of frosting atop the final cookie layer. Using an offset spatula, spread the top layer of frosting evenly over the top of the cake. Using a cake scraper, gently smooth the frosting around the sides of the cake so it is flush with the edges of the cookies, adding more frosting as needed to fill any gaps. Transfer the cake to the refrigerator or freezer to chill for about 30 minutes.
• Make the chocolate ganache: Add the cream to a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Add the chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth. Let cool for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a piping bag. Cut a small opening in the tip of the bag.
• Remove the cake from the refrigerator. Carefully pipe the ganache around the sides of the cake so it drips over the edge, varying the length of each drip. Pipe more ganache on top of the cake and use an offset spatula to spread in an even layer.
• Transfer the remaining peanut butter frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe dollops of frosting around the top edge of the cake. Garnish the cake with the chopped peanuts.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!
