How long should we beat the batter?
Hi Amrita, we'd suggest beating for 2-3 minutes. Happy baking!
Great cake,my 9yr old says it's the best cake ever.
A thin layer of creamy peanut butter between the cake and frosting is delicious!!!!
Just made this cake for the first time for our Chili & Chocolate Party at work. Hope I win the "blue ribbon". One person had a sample and loved it! I guess this recipe is a keeper.
