For the Cake

1 box devil’s food cake, plus ingredients called for on box

2 c. peanut butter, melted

1 c. chopped Reese’s

2 c. powdered sugar

2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

1/4 tsp. kosher salt

1-2 tbsp. heavy cream

Bake cake: Preheat oven to 350° and line a 9-x-13” pan with parchment paper. Prepare cake batter according to package instructions and pour into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cake cool completely.

Using the back of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over cake. Then pour melted peanut butter over the entire cake, filling the holes. Set aside.

Make frosting: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together peanut butter and butter. Add powdered sugar, vanilla and salt and beat until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in cream to loosen frosting, if needed.

Spread frosting all over the top of the cake. Top with chopped Reese’s and Reese’s Pieces and chocolate syrup

Nonstick spray for baking

3 eggs

1 1/2 cups milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled1 tablespoon lemon extract

2 lemons, zested (2 teaspoons)

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups granulated sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

Lemon Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

Meyer lemon or lemon juice

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a 10-inch fluted tube pan with nonstick spray for baking; set aside.

In a very large mixing bowl whisk together eggs, milk, oil, butter, extract, and zest. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until smooth. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove cake from pan; cool. Drizzle with glaze.

 

Lemon Glaze

 

  1. In a small bowl stir together powdered sugar and enough juice to make drizzling consistency (about 2 tablespoons).

Ingredients:

1 pkg. brownie mix of your choice
(for 9×13 pan), with ingredients called for on box
2 cups sweet or unsweet flaked coconut
12 ounce can Dulce De Leche*
¼ cup evaporated milk
Topping: 1 cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Directions:

Prepare brownies in a 9×13 pan according to package directions. Let cool.

On large, rimmed baking sheet, spread out coconut and place in a 350 degree oven until toasted lightly golden, stirring often, about ten minutes.**

While coconut is toasting, place caramel and evaporated milk in a microwave safe bowl or small sauce pot (if melting on stovetop). Heat at 45 second intervals, stirring after each, until just soft enough to blend well.

Stir toasted coconut into caramel mixture until well combined. Place dollops of this all over top of cooled brownies and then spread to ice.

Melt Chocolate Chips in microwave the same way you did the caramel. Once fully melted, allow to cool five minutes before spooning into a large zipper seal bag. Cut just the tip off and make zig zags all over top of coconut mixture. Allow brownies to sit until chocolate is set again and they are completely cool.
