Peanut butter and chocolate according to my bestest bud Lindsay is the perfect combination. When I came upon this cake while browsing through Whisk Kid's amazing blog I knew I was going to make it for her birthday celebration.
After realizing that the heaven and hell name came from two layers of angel food cake and devil's food cake I also came to the conclusion that it was hell to make and heaven to eat. The layers of peanut butter mousse in between heaven and hell was totally worth the pain.
I went into making this cake expecting to have to problem with having a smooth finished looking ganache. Ha! Oh well. I gave up that dream fairly easily after I started pouring it on. Also, I would make two individual 9 inch layers for each cake rather than baking one 10" layer and cutting it in half after it's cooled. Too many crumbs to deal with and the angel food cake sunk in the middle.
