Hi Amanda! This recipe here is for three 8″ cake layers. The ingredient amounts differ slightly but I can assure you it’s every bit as delicious! If you prefer though you can 1.5x this recipe here: https://livforcake.com/peanut-butter-chocolate-cake/ to get three 8″ layers. The layers will be slightly thinner though.

Hi Olivia,

I would like to make a 3 tier 8″ cake…. i went to your old recipe thinking it would be the exact same cake just different measurements, but I’m seeing the recipe’s ingredients do differ. Do you have this recipe with measurements for 8″?

Excited to try your recipe!

Hi Ann! Sorry to hear you had issues with overflowing! Are your pans at least 2″ tall? And do they taper on the sides or are they straight up and down? The cakes should bake right to the top. I use baking strips to help them bake more evenly (https://livforcake.com/flat-top-cakes/). The measurements are correct. Another culprit though could be if you’re at high elevation (over 3000ft) which can wreak havoc on chocolate cakes specifically.

Hi Olivia, I recently made your Reese’s Peanut Butter Cake. It’s the latest of several of your cakes I have made. I carefully followed the directions. The only exception to that was I used three 9″ cake pans. I placed them in the oven and about halfway through the baking I was ready to rotate the pans. I turned on the oven light before opening the door and found that the pans were overflowing! I didn’t rotate the pans. When they were finished baking I removed them from the oven. They had sunk back down but they were a mess on the outside of the pans. Surprisingly I was able to remove the cakes from the pans. At the time I was adding the ingredients I paused when the instructions indicated to add 1tbsp baking soda along with 1-1/2 tsp baking powder. It seemed like a great deal of baking soda, but what do I know??? Would you please verify for me that a tablespoon of soda is actually correct. Fortunately the cake, which I made for my daughter’s birthday turned out to be delicious! My oven was another story……. I enjoy reading and creating your wonderful cakes. Hope to hear back from you.

Hey! I have a unique spin to the icing for you!!
Try adding pineapple juice in place of the heavy cream or milk to thin out the peanut butter icing and its going to take on a whole new taste!
I promise you it will not disappoint!!!

Is the 1 tbsp baking soda measurement correct? It seems a little big to me, but I do realize this is a large cake.

Thanks!
