Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Smooth peanut butter
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Peanut butter morsels
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Peanut butter (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream the unsalted butter and smooth peanut butter together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
Fold in the peanut butter morsels gently with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and peanut butter in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a teaspoon of heavy cream at a time to reach the desired consistency.
Drizzle the peanut butter glaze over the cooled cake, using the back of a spoon or a piping bag for an even design.
Slice and serve the cake at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
