Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one sheet cake pan or one cookie sheet with 1 inch sides.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs until lemon colored. Add vanilla and salt. Stir in sugar, flour, milk, baking powder, and melted butter or margarine.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not overbake.
- While the cake is still warm, spread with peanut butter. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate morsels, and put the pan back into the oven to melt the chocolate. Spread the chocolate evenly over the peanut butter. Refrigerate until chocolate is set. Alternatively, you can let the peanut butter cool and harden. Later, melt the chocolate, and spread it on the cake. It comes out in two distinct peanut butter and chocolate layers that way.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Make sure your butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature before using. This will help them blend together smoothly.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help it bake evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the frosting by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the frosting forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Be sure to use a serrated knife to cut the cake. This will help prevent the cake from crumbling.
