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)

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.

PEANUT BUTTER CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER ICING



Peanut Butter Cake with Chocolate-Peanut Butter Icing image

Provided by Fran Nadzam

Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Quick & Easy     Peanut     Summer     Bon Appétit     California

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 18.25-ounce package yellow cake mix
2 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter (do not use old-fashioned or freshly ground)
3/4 cup chocolate syrup
8 ounces semisweet chocolate
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
Chopped peanuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 2 9-inch-diameter cake pans with 1 3/4-inch-high sides. Prepare cake according to package directions, beating in 1/2 cup peanut butter. Divide between prepared pans. Bake until toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on racks 10 minutes. Turn cakes out onto racks and cool completely.
  • Combine chocolate syrup and semisweet chocolate in heavy small saucepan. Stir constantly over low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Transfer chocolate mixture to large bowl. Stir in remaining 2 cups peanut butter, then powdered sugar, then milk. Continue stirring until smooth. Place 1 cake layer on platter. Spread top with 1 1/2 cups icing. Top with second cake layer. Spread top and sides of cake evenly with remaining icing. Garnish with chopped peanuts. (Can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Cover.) Cut into wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to grease and flour your cake pan before baking. This will help the cake to come out cleanly.
  • To make the peanut butter icing, be sure to use smooth peanut butter. Crunchy peanut butter will not work well.
  • If you want a thicker icing, you can add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner icing, you can add more milk.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This peanut butter cake with peanut butter icing is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for any occasion, from birthdays to potlucks. With its moist and flavorful cake and rich and creamy icing, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
