Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9"X13" non-stick baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- 2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Mix well.
- 3. In a small bowl, combine the hot coffee and baking soda. Mix well and add to flour mixture in bowel. Add the milk, oil, eggs and vanilla.
- 4. Mix well by hand using a wire whisk. Mixture will be VERY thin .... almost like pancake batter.
- 5. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Let cool.
- 6. While cake is cooling, prepare the icing: In a medium size bowl, combine the melted butter, peanut butter, vanilla sugar and milk .... do not add all of the milk at once. Using your judgement as to how "spreadable" you want it. At this point you can add more confectioner's sugar for a stiffer icing or add more milk, in small increments, for a looser icing. Beat well by hand.
- 7. When cake is thoroughly cooled, spread icing on top.
Tips:
- Use high-quality peanut butter: The type of peanut butter you use will greatly affect the flavor of your cake. Look for a brand that is made with 100% peanuts and no added oils or sugars.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This moist peanut butter cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its rich peanut butter flavor and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit.
