PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CAKE



Peanut Butter and Jelly Cake image

This nostalgic PB&J cake is a whimsical nod to the lunchbox favorite. The "bread" of this towering dessert sandwich is a tender white cake baked in square pans and sliced horizontally into four layers. Trimming away the top golden-brown crust of the cake gives it the appearance of white sandwich bread. If you'd prefer, you could use a box cake mix in place of the homemade cake--just be aware that your layers may not be as thick. The peanut butter-cream cheese filling is incredibly easy to mix up, and you can use whatever flavor jam or jelly that you prefer!

Time 2h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

baking spray
3 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk, at room temperature
6 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 cup creamy peanut butter
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 pinch kosher salt
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
1 ¼ cups strawberry jelly

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8-inch square baking pans with baking spray. Line the bottom of each pan with a square piece of parchment paper. Spray parchment with baking spray, then flour each parchment-lined pan, shaking away any excess flour.
  • Whisk cake flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Combine sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture, alternately with the milk, with the mixer running on low speed, beginning and ending with the flour.
  • Beat egg whites in a clean mixing bowl at medium speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into the batter. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes tests clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cakes in the pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn cakes out onto the wire rack. Remove parchment paper and cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Working on one at a time, transfer cakes to a large cutting board or work surface. Trim the golden brown, rounded top off of each cake using a large serrated knife. Slice each cake in half horizontally to yield 4 slices.
  • Prepare the filling: beat peanut butter, cream cheese, honey, butter, and salt together at medium speed until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until smooth. Beat in milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. The peanut butter mixture should be loose enough to be spreadable.
  • Place jelly in a small mixing bowl and whisk to loosen.
  • Carefully transfer one cake layer to a cake plate or serving platter. Gently spread 1/3 of the peanut butter mixture over the cake, spreading all the way to the edges. Spread 1/3 of the jelly over the peanut butter layer. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat with peanut butter filling and jelly. Repeat with the third layer, remaining filling and jelly. Place the final cake layer on top, trimmed side up. Slice diagonally for a sandwich effect.

Time 3m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 slices whole wheat bread (preferably soft)
1 teaspoon butter, the secret ingredient
1 tablespoon peanut butter (I use organic smooth)
2 teaspoons strawberry jam (I use Trader Joe's low sugar)

Steps:

  • Spread a half teaspoon of butter on each slice of bread.
  • Spread one slice with peanut butter.
  • Swirl jam into peanut butter.
  • Cover with other slice of bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature before mixing. This will help them cream together smoothly.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer or even a whisk to mix the ingredients.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you're making the cake ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator. Bring it to room temperature before serving.
