Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk divided
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 cup butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 large egg
For the frosting:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
Instructions
To make the cake:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a rimmed half sheet pan.
- Add the sugars, flour, baking soda, and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add 1 cup of milk, peanut butter, and butter to a small sauce pan and bring to a boil, stirring often.
- Remove from heat and let set for 5 minutes to cool. Add to the dry ingredients.
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup of milk, vanilla, and eggs to the bowl and use an electric mixer to beat together on low speed until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Spread cake batter into prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Cool completely, about an hour.
To make the frosting:
- Add the sugar, butter, and milk to a small sauce pan and stir well. Bring to a boil and boil for exactly 60 seconds.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and chocolate chips until smooth and melted.
- Pour warm frosting over the cooled cake and spread with a spatula. Frosting will harden as it cools.
- Cut and serve once frosting has cooled and set.
Notes
- Be sure to use a processed peanut butter, like Jif or Skippy, and not the natural kind that separates and has to be stored in the fridge.
- Be sure to cool the peanut butter mixture a bit before mixing with the other ingredients so that you don't accidentally scramble the eggs with the hot mixture.
- The frosting will seem a bit runny, but it will firm up as it cools.
- For a thicker layer of frosting, double the frosting recipe.
