A quick update:
Oh. My. Gosh.
We made this cake this afternoon and it was a hit. My husband claimed it was a "peanut butter cup cake." It will be a regular in our rotation of treats. I'm thinking about doing these as cupcakes with the peanut butter filling injected into the cupcake and ganache on top.
PJ - We took your suggestion and used the hazelnut Silk creamer. It worked great! Using the soy replacement for dairy all around does need less liquid for both the filling and ganache. I'm still figuring out the balance, but a little gooey, drippy filling and ganache doesn't hurt anyone. (of course, it's more than a bit warm here in Texas right now... it's hard to avoid the "drip" under normal circumstances atm)
Christina, thanks for reporting back glad to hear the hazelnut Silk worked out. And "drip" isn't ALWAYS a pejorative term... :) PJH
