We love the Peanut butter II receipe but it uses a cake mix. It is our offical family birthday cake. I wanted something simular from scratch and found this. Easy to make and quick. I use my standing mixer to get air in the batter. kicthenaid spd 6 to combine and speed 4 to mix. For the frosting, I halved the other receipe. So i used 1/2 cup smooth pb, 3 Tablespoons butter, 2 cups powdered sugar and 1/8 to 1/4 cup milk or cream (add milk until you get the consistancy you want to frost with). This should give you enough to frost top and sides of one layer cake. Also, i sometimes sprinkle chocolate chips or shavings on top.

This cake is awesome! it was a hit with everone that tried it. it is very filling so cut small pieces to serve so it has more than just 12 servings. it tastes just like peabut butter. i just noticed the calories in a serving so i will only be making this for birthdays. i used my stand mixer which beats batter and gets teh air in. so the texture was great. imight try using just egg whites next time and jusing jam as filler in the middle. i also used a yellow butter cake mix instead of just yellow.
