Number Of Ingredients 16

1/3 cup (45g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (50g) light or dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 tablespoon (16g) creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup (50g) chopped roasted salted peanuts
1 and 1/2 cups (200g) all-purpose flour, sifted
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream (or buttermilk)
1/2 cup (1 stick/115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2/3 cup (170g) creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup (60 ml) canola or vegetable oil
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teapoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the peanut butter crumble: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and brown sugar. Using a wooden spoon or a fork, stir in butter and peanut butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in peanuts. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Make the cake: Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease an 8x8-inch pan.
  • In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another medium bowl mix milk and sour cream. Set bowls aside.
  • In a mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, peanut butter, oil, and sugar on medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Beat in vanilla extract. On low speed, beat in the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the milk mixture in 2 additions, starting and ending with the flour. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle crumble evenly over the batter. It will look like a lot of crumbs, but use them all. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow cake to cool completely.
  • Store cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Cake is best served at room temperature.

Time 6h10m

Yield 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing the pans
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2/3 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
5 large egg whites
Pinch fine salt
1 1/4 cups smooth peanut butter
4 sticks (1 pound) unsalted butter, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Crushed peanut brittle, for decorating

Steps:

  • For the cake: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans, and line the bottom of each with a round piece of parchment. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda together onto a piece of parchment or into a large bowl.
  • Beat the butter, brown sugar, peanut butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and creamy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the side of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low, and add the flour mixture in 3 additions and the milk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just combined.
  • Evenly divide the batter among the prepared cake pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for a few minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Invert each onto a cooling rack, and remove the parchment. (The cakes can be stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 1 day.)
  • For the buttercream: Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan large enough to hold the heatproof bowl of a stand mixer above the water.
  • Whisk together the granulated sugar, egg whites and salt in the stand mixer bowl. Set the bowl above the boiling water, and whisk until the mixture is warm to the touch and the sugar has completely dissolved. Transfer the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat at medium-high speed until cool and the whites hold stiff peaks, about 5 minutes. Beat in 3/4 cup of the peanut butter until smooth. Beat in a couple of chunks of butter at a time, making sure the pieces are incorporated before adding more. Continue beating on medium-high speed until the buttercream thickens into stiff peaks. (The mixture at some point may appear to be very liquidy, but continue to beat.) Beat in the vanilla.
  • To assemble: Slice each cake in half, for a total of 4 cake rounds. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup peanut butter on 3 of the rounds, dividing evenly. Put 1 round, peanut butter-side up, on a cake stand or serving platter, and spread about 3/4 cup of the buttercream on top, leaving about a 1/2-inch border all around. Repeat with 2 more layers of peanut-buttered cake and buttercream. Place the last cake round (without the peanut butter) on top. Frost the outside of the cake with the remaining buttercream. Refrigerate the cake until it sets up (this makes it possible to cut neat slices), at least 4 hours up to overnight. Sprinkle the top with peanut brittle before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

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.

  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
