I made as a birthday cake for a peanut butter fanatic. Wrote a message on top using raisins (I didn't have chocolate chips). The icing is especially delicious and citrusy (yes, you heard me right, citrus & peanut butter). Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
2/3 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 cup peanut butter |
2 eggs |
3/4 cup milk |
1/4 cup oil |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon peanut butter |
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon orange juice |
4 drops vanilla |
Directions:
1. Cake:.
2. Preheat oven to 350F.
3. Whip eggs with oil and sugar.
4. Add peanut butter and whip some more.
5. In a separate bowl, sift flour with baking powder.
6. Slowly, add flour mixture, alternating with the milk.
7. Stir minimally until smooth.
8. Pour into 2 round 8 cake pans, lined with parchement or wax paper.
9. Bake until toothpick comes out clean (approximately 30 minutes).
10. Cool before icing.
11. Icing:.
12. Combine powdered sugar with peanut butter and butter.
13. Add lemon and orange juices along with vanilla.
14. Mix until smooth.
15. Spread part of the icing on top of one of the cooled cakes.
16. Place the other cake on top.
17. Spread remaining icing to cover both the top and sides of the cake.
