Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cup whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a standard 10-inch bundt pan or loaf pan, ensuring all nooks and crannies are coated.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and peanut butter using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Gradually add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the peanut butter mixture, beating well after each addition until the mixture is light and creamy.
Add the eggs to the mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 65–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Slice and enjoy as is, or serve with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or your favorite toppings!
