Why We Love Peanut Butter Cake
Most, tender and full of PB flavor! Sheet cakes are super easy to bake and totally portable for a party, potluck, or picnic. This cake can be baked and frozen in individual servings. The combination of peanut butter caked with a deliciously rich frosting makes this a perfect cake for any occasion.
Ingredients and Variations
CAKE BATTER: Real butter, whole milk, and cake flour produce a lighter, fluffier cake. If cake flour isn’t available, then whisk all-purpose flour with the other dry ingredients until is fine and aerated. PREP TIP: Let the eggs and butter come to room temperature for faster mixing! This cake has not been tested with natural peanut butter or other nut butters. FROSTING: This creamy frosting is a peanut butter delight, so good you’ll want it on everything! Swirl in your favorite jam over the top of the cake, or sprinkle on a handful of colorful Reese’s pieces, chocolate chips, or banana slices.
