Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Peanuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, peanut butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the chopped peanuts, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup for topping.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved chopped peanuts evenly over the top of the batter for added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your Peanut Crunch Cake!
