Peanut Butter Cake
This is a seriously easy but seriously impressive cake to make for family or friends that love peanut butter. It is so good and so easy, I promise!
Take one box of cake mix- white, yellow, or chocolate. It doesn't matter, just use what you have on hand. Make the cake according to directions except add one extra egg. Once you have the cake mixed up add 1 cup of peanut butter. Mix well and spread into cake pan. Bake until done.
For icing, you have two options. From a jar or from scratch. The from scratch version is so easy that I usually go with it.
From a jar: heat up your icing (chocolate or vanilla) in the microwave for a few seconds so it is easy to stir. Add 1/2 cup peanut butter and mix well.
Chocolate Icing From scratch: soften one stick of butter and blend with 3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa, 3 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 cup peanut butter, and then add tiny splashes of milk until the icing is a spreadable consistency.
White Icing from scratch: soften one stick of butter and blend with 1 8 ounce package of softened cream cheese, 2-3 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 cup peanut butter, and then add tiny splashes of milk until the icing is a spreadable consistency.
To make it even more sinful you can add chocolate or peanut butter chips to the cake mix, sprinkled shaved chocolate over the top of the cake, or press chopped up peanuts onto the side of the cake.
With this cake, the sky (or the amount of calories you can consume) is the limit!
