Peanut Butter Chocolate cake with Peanut Butter frosting :)

I made this cake the other day…..it was SO GOOD!  I didn’t take any pictures of it, so just use your imagination!  OK, here it goes…..

2- 1/4 all purpose flour (I use cake flour instead)

1- 1/2 cups white sugar

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

1- 1/4 cup milk

3-1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla (I always add a little bit more, for fun!)

3 large eggs

1. Heat oven to 350.  Grease bottom and sides of pan(s) Lightly flour.

2. Beat all ingredients until well blended.   Pour 2/3 batter into prepared pans.  Stir in 3 TBS baking cocoa and 1/8 tsp baking soda into remaining batter.  Drop chocolate batter by tablespoon fulls onto peanut butter batter.  Pull knife through batters using S shape. 

3.  Bake rectangle 40-45 minutes, 9 inch rounds 30-35 minutes or until toothpick insterted in middle comes out clean.

Peanut Butter Buttercream frosting:

3 cups powdered sugar

1/3 cup smooth peanut butter

1-1/2 tsp vanilla

2-3 tablespoons milk

1.  Mix powdered sugar and peanut butter.  Stir in milk and vanilla until smooth.  You may need a little more milk to make it spreadable. 

And that’s that!  I did decorate a bit with some fudge frosting, but it turned out really thick, I think I’ll have to find a different recipe for that next time.  Enjoy!
