Hello! I'm making a cake for my boyfriend's birthday and I plan on making a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. The filling is going to be peanut butter - I was thinking a peanut butter mousse layer would be awesome! But my question is, how do I go about  doing it. It can't be too thick of a layer, can it? Or the cake would collapse...I'd have to make it kind of like frosting. Should I torte it so there are more layers to get more filling? Or should I just use my peanut butter frosting for the filling?

And just in general with layered cake and mousse - how does it work?

Thanks so much!

AYou can make a thick "mousse" and 1/4" of filling between each layer would be fine. I would torture the cake so that you get more of the peanut butter taste.

ADarn autocorrect... TORTE, not torture. Heh.

Yeah yeah brandisbaked you know you would "torture" the cake

AAm I that transparent?

Thanks! I hope you wouldn't torture the cake, hahah :)

And should I refrigerate the cake after it's filled with the mousse? 

A

Yep, I guess it was a Freudian slip

AYes, it would definitely need refrigeration. And then more torture.

AMuahahahahaha
