For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder. Ensure the cake is completely cool before frosting to prevent the peanut butter and chocolate layers from melting. If the chocolate frosting is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or buttermilk at a time until desired consistency is reached. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
