GRANDMA MABEL'S SALTED PEANUT CAKE
This was my grandma's recipe. She would make it when my dad was just a little guy and he's now 68 - so it's a pretty old recipe. I haven't seen any recipe like this on JAP. It's unique and ohhhhhhh so yummy! It takes a little extra work, but believe me it's well worth it!!

Steps:
- 1. In a bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add egg and beat well. Combine the 1 1/2 cups of flour, baking soda and baking powder and add to creamed mixture slowly alternating with the buttermilk. Set aside 3/4 cup of the ground peanuts for the topping. Stir remaining peanuts into batter. Spread into a greased 13X9 cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Cool completely before frosting.
- 2. FROSTING DIRECTIONS- combine 1/2 cup of 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 and cool completly. In a bowl cream the butter and the powdered sugar until fluffy. Add the cooled flour mixture and the vanilla and beat until fluffy -about 4 minutes. Spread over the cooled cake and sprinkle with the reserved ground peanuts.
- 3. *NOTE* Grandma and mom always used one of those old, silver, cast iron grinders to grind the peanuts. I do it as well because I just like the way the peanuts come out. You might be able to use a food processor, but personally I have never tried it. Just like keeping some of the old traditions I guess!
Tips:
- Use a quality peanut butter that is smooth and creamy. - Toasting the peanuts before using them in the cake will enhance their flavor. - Be sure to measure the flour correctly; too much flour will make the cake dry. - Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can result in a tough cake. - Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. - For a richer flavor, use homemade salted peanut butter. - 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. - For a gluten-free cake, use gluten-free flour. - Top the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.Conclusion:
