Ingredients
- 1 cup butter room temperature, unsalted
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 2 large egg room temperature
- 1 cup peanut butter chunky
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 ¾ cups jam ex: blackberry, strawberry, raspberry, or jelly, choice
- ½ cup peanuts coarsely chopped, salted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 9x13x2-inch cake pan. Line it with parchment paper, then grease and flour the pan.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light yellow, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla, eggs, and peanut butter and mix until all ingredients are combined.
- In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Mix just until combined.
- Spread 2/3 of the dough into the prepared cake pan and spread over the bottom with a knife or offset spatula. Spread the jam evenly over the dough. Drop small globs of the remaining dough evenly over the jam. Don't worry if all the jam isn't covered; it will spread in the oven. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cool and cut into squares. Serve up with a big glass of ice cold milk.
