In a large bowl, sift flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
In a small saucepan, mix water, butter, and cocoa.
Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture boils; boil and stir 1 minute.

Pour into jelly roll pan.
Bake until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean (25-30 minutes).
Spread peanut butter over warm cake.
Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
Microwave chocolate chips and shortening in a small microwave-safe bowl, on HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes; stir.
If needed, microwave for an additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, just until chocolate is melted.
