Prepare the Cake
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease three (nine-inch) round pans.
-
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine all dry ingredients. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Dissolve coffee in boiling water. With the mixer running on low, add coffee in a thin stream. Scrape down sides of bowl and mix until combined.
-
Divide batter among three prepared pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Prepare the Filling
-
Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer, beat whipped topping until stiff. Add peanut butter and beat until incorporated. Add sugar.
Prepare the Buttercream
-
Pulse pretzels in a food processor (you might need to finish them off by smashing them with a rolling pin in a zip-top bag).
-
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream margarine for two minutes. Add sugar, one cup at a time. Add smashed pretzels and mix to combine. Add salt and a handful of pretzel chunks.
Assemble
-
Once cake is cool, put peanut butter filling in between the layers. Use pretzel buttercream to frost outside of cake.
