In a medium bowl sift together cake flour, baking powder and salt.
Using
a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat together room temperature
butter and sugar. First beat on low and gradually increase speed to
medium high, until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Mix in the peanut butter,
then add eggs, one at a time. Beat well until combined.
On low speed, add flour, alternating with buttermilk milk, in 3 parts, until smooth and well combined.
Fill the cake pans with the batter.

Cool on wire rack for 20 minutes, remove from the pans, and let cool completely.

chocolate. Cover with paper towel and a plate. Paper towel is not
suppose to touch the chocolate. Let sit 5 minutes.

Chocolate  Ganache  Drip Glaze
1cup(200grams)semisweet chocolate chips
1/3cup(70grams) heavy cream
Heat heavy cream  until it is hot and bubbles are forming on
the surface, pour over small pieces of chocolate, cover and let stand
for 2 minutes. Stir with a wooden spoon until smooth.Pour over cake. If
thicker ganache is desired let the ganache thicken. Once on the cake let
set for 20 minutes, add the decorations.

Cream Cheese Chocolate Ganache Frosting/Filling
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, or if you prefer use milk chocolate chips.
1/2 cup  bittersweet chocolate chips, or you can use good quality dark chocolate as well.
1/3 cup heavy cream
1package  room temperature cream cheese
1/4cup room temperature butter(optional)
1cup to 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Heat heavy cream  until it is hot and bubbles are forming on
the surface, pour over small pieces of chocolate, cover  and let stand
for 2 minutes. When covering a bowl, first, place a piece of clean dry
paper towel over and then place a plate or a lid on top. This helps to
keep any water from condensation dripping into the ganache. Whisk until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.Beat cream cheese with room temperature butter and powdered sugar, until smooth.Gradually add room temperature ganache, add vanilla extract, beat until combined and smooth. Taste, if needed add more powdered sugar. Personally don’t like frosting that is overly sweet, so you may have to add more sugar based on your taste.This is one luscious frosting. You can, fill,  frost the cake or cupcakes using this frosting.
