Does anyone have a good recipe for a peanut butter cake? I have tried to google some recipes, but can't find anything good!

It will be a while before I need it, but I would like to try a few different recipes if anyone is willing to share. I really appreciate it!

Thanks, MessyBaker

Thanks Staceyboots!

I was wondering if you can double the recipe?

AND...

What kind of icing do you use? I guess I'm thinking chocolate?

Thanks so much for you response, MessyBaker

messybaker,

yes...the recipe can easily be doubled and chocolate buttercream goes great with peanut butter cake

If you want super easy and super tasting, here's the one I make:

2 pkgs cake mix
1 jar creamy peanut butter
8 egg whites
1 c butter, softened
1 1/2 c vanilla coffee creamer

Throw it all in a bowl and blend 'til well combined. Batter is thick, but only fill the pans half-full as it rises quite a bit (yet it stays flat - no dome at all if you use Bake Even Strips). I bake it at 325.

I usually fill it with 3 c Bettercreme blended with 1 c peanut butter and chopped Reeses Peanut Cups mixed in, but chocolate ganache is another favorite - or raspberry filling for a PBJ style.

staceyboots, your recipe looks delish, I'd like to try it. Have you ever tried some sort of fruit buttercream to make a PBJ cake? Any suggestions? I have 3 little girls who would love that.

shogg,

i was actually going to recommend your suggestion to the OP but i've never actually tried it. i do remember seeing a bakery offering a white cake filled with strawberry filling and covered with peanut butter frosting

I use the one from the Betty Crocker website for Peanut Butter Cupcakes. It starts with a yellow cake mix and I get rave reviews. However I use the icing recipe from the Peanut Butter Cake VII (from this site). It's a peanut butter icing without chocolate. It's de-lish!
Good luck!!

I just wanted to clarify on the creamer.......liquid or powder? My guess was liquid!

This sounds delish and super easy! Thanks!

I forgot!! It's even better using the butter recipe yellow cake mix instead of white cake mix.
