2. Mix together brown sugar, peanut butter and butter for two minutes. Add egg and egg yolk and mix for another two minutes. Scrape down the sides and mix for another minute.

3. Add half of the flour mixture and mix until incorporated about 20 seconds. Add the sour cream, mixing again for 20 seconds. Slowly add the remaining flour mixture. Add the hot water and mix to combine for 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and mix for another 10 seconds. Add the chocolate chips and use a rubber spatula to finish mixing the ingredients until thoroughly combined.

4. Divide the cake batter into the prepared pans, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 15 minutes. If you have Use a toothpick to see if it is done. Let cool completely.

5. Place cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peanut butter into a medium bowl. Stir until smooth. Once cakes are cooled, spread cream cheese over bottom of one of the cakes. Top with 2nd cake.

For the ganache:

Garnish with dark chocolate covered caramels (or any candy!)

Alternative versions:
1. Replace the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, candies, etc.

With two weeks left before my college graduation, I've started to amp up the baking to take advantage of my apartment's new, renovated kitchen.  After graduation, I head home for a few months and then start my teaching fellowship in August where I will be sharing 3 kitchens......with 30-40 other roommates.

ANYWAYS. I made banana muffins. I had a rotten banana and it was kind of disgusting. But oxidation of a banana = perfect for baked goods. These banana muffins were probably one of the best muffins I've made. And I've made a lot.
My roommate ate one and said"Are you kidding me these are really good" She'll probably read this. And if not, then I'll know she isn't reading my blog.
