Time 3h

Yield 12 squares

Number Of Ingredients 18

Baking spray with flour
3/4 cup (6 oz.) salted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups (about 8 1/2 oz.) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 cup whole buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 ounces cream cheese (from 1 [8-oz.] pkg.), softened
1/2 cup (4 oz.) salted butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 (16-oz.) pkg. powdered sugar (about 4 cups)
1/8 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup dry-roasted, lightly salted peanuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 13- x 9-inch pan with baking spray with flour; set aside. Beat butter with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Gradually add sugar, and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition and stopping to scrape down side of bowl as needed. Add peanut butter; beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. With mixer running on low speed, add flour mixture and buttermilk, in alternating batches, to butter mixture, starting and ending with flour mixture and making sure each addition is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in vanilla. Spoon mixture into prepared pan, and smooth top with a small off-set spatula.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cake is light brown and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes . Remove from oven, and let cool in pan on a wire rack until completely cool, about 2 hours.
  • Prepare the Frosting: Beat cream cheese, butter, and peanut butter with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy and blended, about 2 minutes. With mixer running on low speed, slowly add powdered sugar and salt, beating until well incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla, and beat on low speed until incorporated, about 10 seconds. Add cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, until frosting reaches desired consistency. Spread frosting over top of cooled cake, and sprinkle with peanuts.

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour (250 grams)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup vegetable oil (180 ml) (canola oil works too)
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar (300 grams) (or 3/4 cup dark brown sugar and 3/4 cup granulated sugar)
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter (180 grams)
3 large eggs (room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup sour cream (80 ml) (room temperature)
3/4 cup milk (180 ml) (room temperature)
3/4 cup unsalted butter (170 grams) (softened but still slightly firm to the touch)
2 ounces cream cheese (56 grams) (full-fat, brick style )
3/4 cup peanut butter (180 grams)
3 1/2 -4 1/2 cups powdered sugar (420 - 540 grams)
1-2 tablespoons heavy cream (15-30 ml) (if needed)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C or 160C fan-forced).
  • Line the bottom of two 8-inch round cake pans with baking paper. Lightly grease and flour the sides. Be sure that the sides of the pans are at least 2 inches (5 cm). See recipe notes for pan size options.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat together the oil, light brown sugar and peanut butter in a very large bowl.
  • Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract. Stop mixing once you no longer see pieces of egg.
  • Using a hand-held metal whisk, whisk in the sour cream.
  • Whisk in about 1/2 of the flour mixture (again, whisking by hand).
  • Carefully whisk in the milk.
  • Whisk in the rest of the flour mixture until combined. Stop mixing once combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the 2 prepared pan. Bake both on the middle rack of the oven for about 28-33 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean and you see the edges starting to pull away from the pan.
  • Cool the cakes fully.
  • In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter until smooth.
  • Mix in the cream cheese, followed by the peanut butter.
  • Starting with the mixer on a low speed, beat in about 2 cups of powdered sugar.
  • Mix in the rest of the powdered sugar about 1/2 cup at a time until the desired sweetness is reached. If the frosting seems too thick, beat in 1-2 tablespoons of cream, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Ensure the cake layers are fully cooled before assembling the cake.
  • If the tops of your cakes are domed, use a serrated knife to gently saw off the rounded tops.
  • Place 1 cake layer bottom side up on the plate or cake stand that you plan to serve it on.
  • Frost the top with about 1/3 of the frosting.
  • Place the second cake layer on top, with the bottom facing up.
  • Frost a thin layer of frosting around the sides to seal in any crumbs. Optionally, place the cake in the fridge for 20-30 minutes for the frosting to firm up.
  • Frost the sides and top with swirls of peanut butter frosting. Optionally, top the cake with peanut butter cups.

PEANUT BUTTER CAKE



Peanut Butter Cake image

Wonderfully delicious peanut butter cake best with chocolate frosting, If you make with Reese's Peanut Butter and a milk chocolate frosting, it's very much like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. This recipe makes a smaller 8x8 cake. If you make a triple batch it is enough for one layer in a 12" cake pan with a dozen cupcakes. I also recommend that you use a creamy peanut butter simply because if there is some left over the nuts well get "soggy" in the cake.
