I got this recipe years ago from an advertisement for Kraft Peanut Butter. I've made it several times to bring along on picnics, as per its name, and it's always been a big hit.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups icing sugar
1/4 cup milk
Directions:
1. To make cake: Cream butter and sugar.
2. Add peanut butter, vanilla and eggs; beat well.
3. Blend together flour, baking powder and salt.
4. Add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, mixing well after each addition.
5. Pour batter into a greased 13 x 9 baking pan.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes.
7. Cool; leave cake in pan.
