Was my first time having a peanut butter cake...I loved it! I did make some changes though. To the actual recipe, the icing doesn't need near as much milk. I ended up using way too much powdered sugar to get it back to not being liquid. Also, I did two layers instead of one big cake. Was very pretty! Something I added...Reese cups! I also used Reese's peanut butter. It was soooo good! I crumbled the Reese cups on the first and second layer. I liked the icing a little runny because I let the icing run down the sides and harden. Turned out great!

The cake was okay, but I was expecting the cake to taste more like peanut butter. The frosting was much better and made up for the lack of peanut butter taste in the cake.

I did not make the cake, but I used the frosting recipe. Something is terribly wrong with this recipe. I think the measurements are off. It turned out to be like water. I even added more confectioners sugar and it still was like soup. Needless to say I poured in on my cake and it ran off it and covered the whole plate. I would never make it again and don't recommend anyone else does either.

1 cup of milk to 1 lb confectionery sugar is too much. Use about 1/4 cup of milk to get a creamy spreadable frosting. Mix peanut butter with confectionery sugar than add as much milk to make creamy instead of alternating

I followed the recipe exactly. The cake was extremely dense, thick and somewhat dry tasting. It was tolerable but I would not make it again. My whole family loves peanut butter so I assumed this would be a real winner but it was not.

Delicious cake-- although I recommend using margarine instead of butter or fewer eggs as the cake was very heavy in the middle.

It just didn't taste right and the texture was quiet dry. I really have no idea how to improve the recipe but I wouldn't make it again.

The cake was quite good - perfect 'ribbons falling from beaters' batter, nice and dense and chewy and cakey...and it tasted of peanut butter, though not extremely. It does not taste like it has 6 eggs in it imo, not too rich. The frosting was not worth it; runny and took forever to set and was, like an earlier reviewer said, more like a glaze. (I started with 2 cups of icing sugar - 16 oz - which may have been wrong, not sure if Sherry meant fluid or solid ounces. As is I put about 3 cups in total and it was still not enough.) Peanuts on top were a great touch - just use the Peanut Butter Frosting recipe, on this site, for a much better topping and you'll have a stellar cake!

This cake was terrific! I found it very rich with excellent peanut taste. The frosting turned out more like a glaze, but that was OK, since the cake was so substantial.

Although the peanut butter taste was exceptional, the cake was not ... way too dry. If I were to try it again I would try adding salad oil or yogurt to give it some moisture.
