Preheat oven to 350f. Grease and flour tow 10inch pans. Bake cake according to directions and pour into prepared pans.

Bake cake until spring bake when touched about 40 minutes. Allow cake to cool completely in pan. Cut cakes vertically so that you have four bars.

For Peanut Butter Filling,cream the butter, cream cheese, and peanut butter together until smooth. Gradually add confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time until combined and sweet to taste. Add vanilla.

Chocolate Butter Cream frosting
