How To Make 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

Directions

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.

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.
