Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. and prepare a 9x13 baking pan by spraying generously with non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a paddle attachment, cream the peanut butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and ad in the milk, vanilla, eggs, and oil, and mix until well combined.
  4. Sift in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix until there are no dry spots remaining.
  5. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and frost immediately.

MARSHMALLOW FROSTING:

  1. About 5 minutes before the cake is scheduled to be removed from the oven start to make the frosting.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk and butter and heat over medium-high, stirring continuously.
  3. When sugar is dissolved, add the peanut butter, marshmallows and vanilla. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated over very low heat.
  4. Pour warm frosting mixture over the hot Peanut Butter Cake and spread around to cover fully. Sprinkle with honey roasted peanuts immediately while frosting is still tacky.
  5. Allow to cool completely before serving.
