The March fundraiser for Equine Voices is fast approaching. It is one of their big fundraisers for the year. They have a silent auction with all sorts of great donated items -- artwork, jewelry, hotel stays, restaurant gift certificates, etc. They also hold a Dessert Auction. Last year, I baked a Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese frosting that was bid on fast and furiously and went for over $100! This year, I'm looking to beat that amount with the following: 
Fudge Glazed Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter filling.
Fudge Glazed Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter filling. I did a trial run of this cake over the weekend. WHOA. Very moist, very rich and chocolately and peanut buttery. I think it's a winner! 
This cake can easily feed 12 people. A small slice is all you need to satisfy your sweet tooth. I found the recipe on the King Arthur Flour website here. I actually doubled the cake portion of the recipe to make 2 full layers (rather than cut the layer in half as the recipe calls for).
I'm hoping this cake will raise a nice chunk of change to help the horses.

Yum,Yum! The cake looks delicious! What a wonderful donation for a great cause.
hmmm, I cant tell just by looking. I would have to eat at least half of the cake to be sure. I think you have my mailing address.
Yum! I'd pay big bucks for that!
My mouth is watering just thinking about it - what can be better than chocolate and peanut butter...I think you have a WINNER!
That looks SOOOOO good!!
I think I put on 5 pounds just looking at that cake! Definitely auction worthy. I'm not sure if there is enough time, but I am going to contact Susan Via later today about donating an item for the silent auction. Hope the fundraiser is a HUGE success!
WHOA! Giddy up and go BA-BEE! Yummy and de-lish. Hubby seen it, and now I have to make it! LOL, thanks...
Shelly - awesome idea and thanks so much! I know they will appreciate one of your handcrafted creations so much for the silent auction. In fact, anyone else out there who'd like to donate something for this event (and a great cause) just follow the Equine Voices link and all the info for the fundraiser is on their website. Thanks!
