Time 1h15m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup buttermilk
1 lb salted peanuts, ground
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add egg; beat well. Combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Set aside 3/4 cup peanuts for topping. Stir remaining peanuts into batter. Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, for the frosting, combine the flour and the milk in a saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; cool completely. In a bowl, cream the butter and confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Add the cooled flour mixture and the vanilla; beat until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Spread over the cake; sprinkle with the reserved peanuts.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more liquid next time.

I'm not usually a fan of peanut cakes, but this one was surprisingly delicious! The saltiness of the peanuts balanced out the sweetness of the cake perfectly. It was also very moist and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
