Peanut Butter Frosting
Description
This frosting starts by beating room-temperature salted butter and creamy peanut butter together until light and fluffy. Milk and vanilla extract are then added for moisture and depth of flavor. Gradually incorporating 3 to 3 ½ cups of powdered sugar creates a smooth, spreadable consistency that holds shape on baked goods.
Its creamy texture and peanut butter flavor complement cakes, cupcakes, or bars, providing both richness and a subtle nutty taste. The frosting can be adjusted by varying powdered sugar amount to achieve desired thickness.
This recipe yields enough frosting to cover a 9x13 inch cake, two 9-inch round cakes, or approximately 18 cupcakes, making it practical for mid-size dessert projects.

- 1 cup butter room temperature, salted
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 3 tablespoons milk

Notes
