A sensational peanutty treasure! A peanut butter cake made from scratch and topped with rich peanut butter frosting.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2/3 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 6 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup milk
-
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with 3/4 cup milk, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan.
To make Peanut Butter Frosting: In a large bowl, cream peanut butter; gradually beat in half of confectioners' sugar. Add remaining confectioners' sugar alternately with 1 cup of milk, beating until smooth enough to spread. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Spread frosting on top of cake and sprinkle with peanuts.
