  • 1 cup finely crushed peanut brittle

Steps

    Cut cake horizontally into 3 layers. In large bowl, combine powdered sugar, margarine and whipping cream; beat until smooth, adding enough whipping cream for desired spreading consistency.

    Reserve 2 tablespoons of the peanut brittle. Stir remaining peanut brittle into frosting mixture.
  • 3
    Place bottom cake layer on serving plate; spread with 1/3 cup frosting. Top with second cake layer; spread with 1/3 cup frosting. Cover with third cake layer. Spread top and sides with remaining frosting. Sprinkle with reserved 2 tablespoons peanut brittle. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before slicing.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To crush the peanut brittle, seal it in a sturdy plastic bag. Pound the brittle with a hammer or the bottom of a heavy saucepan.
  • tip 2
    Place the frosted torte in the freezer until the frosting has hardened. Then wrap the torte well in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. To thaw unwrap the torte and place it on a serving platter. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap and store it overnight in the refrigerator.
