Peanut Butter Cake III

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

    1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

    2 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.

    3 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.

    4 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.
