Preparation:
Prepare Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pudding as directed.
Beat pound cake mix, buttermilk and eggs at low speed with an electric mixer for 30 seconds; beat at medium speed 3 minutes. Add peanut butter, and beat just until blended. Pour the batter into 2 greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans.
Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.
Spread Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pudding evenly between layers; spread Chocolate Glaze evenly on top. Chill cake until ready to serve. Let chilled cake stand 15 minutes before slicing.
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pudding:
2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch ½ cup milk 1 large egg, lightly beaten ½ cup Nestle Toll House Peanut Butter & Milk Chocolate Morsels
Stir together first 3 ingredients in a heavy 1-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened. Gradually stir about one-half of hot milk mixture into egg, stirring well. Add egg mixture to remaining hot milk mixture, and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute.
Remove mixture from heat; add morsels, and stir until morsels melt and mixture is smooth. Pour mixture into a bowl; cover with plastic wrap, placing wrap directly on mixture, and chill at least 3 hours.
