I was a bit hesitant to try this cake...it seemed like half of the reviews said how moist and fluffy it is and the other half said it was much to dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but mine was very dry!! One thing that was good, I iced it with chocolate icing as another reviewer suggested. It was like a yummy reece cup! Oh well..I won't be making it again. I'm giving it three stars because the dryness must have been something I did wrong, but I followed the instructions to a T.

This was actually the first cake that came out really baked from my new oven :-) I do not like the taste of peanut butter (it is sort of salty and sweet at the same time...), but this cake was wonderful. It was moist and very, very rich. I used white sugar instead of brown. It was alright even after a week in the fridge...

This cake was AMAZING. I made it for my grandfather's birthday because I know he likes peanut butter pie. The only thing I did different was add chocolate chips on the top, and it was delicious. I did have to bake it about 10-15 minutes longer than the recipe suggested. The cake was very moist and not too much peanut butter state, which was great b/c I generally hate a strong peanut butter taste. My family LOVED this recipe, especially my boyfriend who's hard to please with cake recipes! :) I will DEFINITELY make this again!

A little dry but tasty. I drizzled hot fudge sauce and peanut butter ice cream topping to make more elegant

Dry, dry, dry.......I threw out the whole cake. Yes it did have a good taste but not worth eating because it was so darn dry. I do not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This cake is so yummy. I actually used it in the center of a peanut butter and chocolate ganache cake. It turned out wonderful and is perfect without any kind of frosting. The streusel makes it extra good. I never thought a peanut butter cake could be this good.

Well, what can I say, this IS the fluffiest and most moist cake that I have ever baked. I did not use all the strousel topping, I just baked it seperately on a frying pan, and ended up with a nice soft sweet thing. I over-baked the cake a bit (35 mins) it caused some of the strousels on the top to burn. I removed the burned strousels by hand, and no problem. My mom and Dad loved it. I used normal white sugar instead of brown sugar, and crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy peanut butter, and no problem at all. Thanks for this wonderful recipe

The recipe was certainly simple enough, but that is the only thing it has going for it. I am a huge peanut butter fan, but this recipe was lacking for something. It came out like a very large, dry peanut butter cookie. I was very disappointed in this recipe and will not be making it again.

My daughter made several cakes for the county fair, and this was one of them. She made it in a tube pan and increased the baking time (I think about 50 minutes?). She won a blue ribbon and class champion for Jr. Specialty Cakes, so I would say that's a pretty good recipe. She "taste-tested" one on my coworkers before we make the "good" one for the fair, and everyone loved it. Her grandmother says it froze well, too.

This cake was ok. It was sorta dry. It almost reminded me of a coffe cake. Maybe a big peanut butter cookie. I dont know... It tasted good, but I guess was looking for something different!

well, this was good, but i changed it a little. i poured the batter into two round cake pans and cut the baking time in half. i used the struessel topping as the filling between the layers. Mine however did not resemble a struessel topping, it looked more like cookie dough. I then frosted with chocolate frosting. To be quiet honest, with out the chocolate frosting I probably would not have eaten my whole piece. I was really loking forward to this, too because I love peanut butter.

My husband loves peanut butter, but can't have chocolate. It seems most recipes that have peanut butter also have chocolate. This was a great recipe--easy and flavorful. I made it for his family and mine for his birthday--it disappeared quickly!
