When the mixture has cooled down a bit, add the eggs one by one and whisk. Add sour cream; Obtain a homogeneous dough.
Bake
Transfer the dough to the mold. Bake for 30 minutes; If the toothpick comes out clean, take it out of the oven. Let it rest in the mold for 10 minutes and cool it on a wire rack.
Make the cream base
Heat 1/2 cup butter, milk and cocoa powder in small saucepan. When the cocoa is fully opened, remove it from the stove and let it warm.
Thicken the cream
Add powdered sugar little by little to the warm cocoa mixture and whisk. Add vanilla and peanut butter. If it is too thick, you can add 1-2 spoons of milk.
