Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and lightly flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and whisk until fully combined.

Pour in the boiling water and whisk until fully combined; the batter should be runny.

Pour the batter evenly into each prepared cake pan. Lightly drop the pans against the work surface for more even baking.

Bake for 35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Allow cakes to cool completely before removing them from the pans and adding icing.

To start the icing, beat the peanut butter and butter in a medium bowl until creamy.

Mix in the sugar until the mixture becomes thick. Once thick, slowly add in the milk one tablespoon at a time. Keep mixing in the milk until the icing becomes spreadable.

Using a mixer on high speed, beat the icing until it's light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.

Once the cake is iced, you can choose to decorate it with your favorite Reese's candies. Or, leave it as a simple chocolate-peanut butter cake.

Ice and enjoy your Reese's Lovers Cake! 🥜
