Yield Serves 12-16

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 1/2 cups creamy, no-stir peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I really enjoyed this cake. The cake itself is light and fluffy, and the frosting is rich and creamy. The peanut butter flavor is subtle, so it's not overpowering.
