Hellooo there and welcome back!! Today we are making a cake inspired by one of my all-time favorite TV shows–“The Great British Bake Off”! I ABSOLUTELY love the show, from the laid-back (but far from boring!) atmosphere, amazing baked creations, and of course, the judges and hosts! All so amazing. So today I thought it would be fun to create Steven’s Giant Sandwich Cake from Episode 1 of the latest season (Season 5)! Enjoyyyy!!

Instructions
Chocolate Fudge Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly spray a 9" x 13" baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with a parchment paper sling and secure the sides with metal (oven-safe) binder clips, then spray again.
- Place the coffee, butter, and cocoa powder in a medium microwave safe bowl and microwave at 30 second intervals until fully melted. Alternatively, melt the coffee, butter, and cocoa powder together in a medium saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients and fold to combine.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream/yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the chocolate batter and fold to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Peanut Butter Frosting
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and peanut butter on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Mix in the confectioners' sugar one cup at a time on low speed, then beat in the vanilla. Turn the mixer to medium-high speed about beat for 3 minutes, or until smooth and fluffy.
