Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare three greased 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together warm water, sour cream, oil, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients; mix gently until combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for about 24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool before transferring them to wire racks.
For the frosting, beat together softened butter and peanut butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and whipping cream until smooth and fluffy.
Assemble the cake by layering frosting between each cake layer and covering the top and sides with remaining frosting. Decorate with chopped Reese's peanut butter cups.
