PEANUT BUTTER CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

YUM!!! This is an excellent frosting which incorporates two of my favorite things...peanut butter and cream cheese and it's also easy to make. I used it to frost a banana cake I made (recipe #50349-which is an excellent cake recipe) and it was soooo good! I found this recipe on another recipe website. I'm thinking it would also be great on chocolate cake.

DREAMY, CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING



Dreamy, Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting image

Without a doubt the best Peanut Butter Frosting I have ever made. Creamy, great flavor,and has never glazed over or got that "crusty" look to it like some frostings do once they have set up. With this recipe you can also omit the milk and you have a great peanut butter filling to sandwich in between cake layers. If by chance the frosting looks a bit stiff, you can blend in up to 1-2 more tablespoons of milk, just do so slowly and mix well before adding more. This makes 3 cups of frosting, enough to frost a 2 or 3 layer cake or a 13 by 9 inch sheet cake with some to spare. I hope you love this recipe as much as I do.

CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING



Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting image

This was so easy to make and tastes delicious. I was also able to use some with some red food coloring to decorate the cake. I have had it written on a piece of paper for a long time.. don't know where I got it, but I needed to make a cake today and remembered this. This makes enough to frost and fill a two layer 9 inch cake, or frost a sheet cake.
