How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the deliciousness! Follow these simple steps to create your Bolo de Chocolate e Amendoim Recheado:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and well combined.
4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. While the cakes are baking, prepare the peanut butter filling. In a medium bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.
6. Once the cakes are done, let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of the peanut butter filling on top, then place the second cake layer on top.
8. Frost the top and sides of the cake with any remaining peanut butter filling, and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
