Peanut Butter Mousse Cake

This cake is so smooth and light you won't even realize how luxurious decadent it is. It starts out with a brownie base that is topped with a velvety peanut butter mousse with globs of peanut butter cookie dough throughout out and then topped with an elegant chocolate mousse and the whole cake is finished with a rich, dark ganache drizzled over top.
