Half Birthday Cake

Made a 1/2 layer peanut butter with choco frosting 1/2 cake for my dear son's 7.5 birthday today.

It was a doctored white cake-mix with about 3/4 cup peanut butter added, a bit of extra vanilla and a reduced amount of oil. The cakes really rose up in the pan, so I probably could have cut the eggs.

The frosting was a 1/2 cup of melted chocolate chips, a few tablespoons of cream and 2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, a pinch of salt, a dash of vanilla, with the added bonus of a cloud of powdered sugar that blew all over my kitchen when I picked up the handmixer.

Not my best effort, but the happy smile I got from the kid made it all worth while.
