this review is for the cake only, not the frosting (which i didn't make). i'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake turned out too oily and dense. between the butter, oil and p.b., that is a lot of oily products in the recipe! also, i wonder if the batter could have used more flour... it was a bit runny. the taste wasn't nearly as peanut-buttery as i'd expected. :(

Used creamy, not crunchy. Used 9x13 pan since I don't have the other type. It was terrific! A wonderful, moist, flavorful dessert!

Used creamy peanut butter not crunchy, used 1 cup milk instead of 1 cup water. replaced oil with butter (i never use oil!) doubled the frosting. The frosting is what makes this, its so good. Next time I make this, I'm going to put the frosting on after the cake has cooled.

Awesome cake! Made it once just to try it and took it to my husband's work where is disappeared fast. Then I made it for my sons 2nd birthday party - it was a big hit! It might be my stove but both times I had to cook it much longer than stated. Delicious recipe!

I had serious doubts during the making of this cake, but it was wonderful. My mom is a huge peanut butter "nut" and she devoured this cake. Very moist. The glaze is really sweet, so I only used half of the glaze and drizzled it over the top instead of spreading it. A definite keeper!

I was looking for something to use up buttermilk, evaporated milk, and marshmallow fluff, and I'm glad a found this recipe. The cake and frosting were excellent and easy to make. I used marshmallow fluff instead of marshmallows. I cut the cake recipe in 1/2 and used a 9 x 7 pan, but kept the frosting recipe the same. I topped the cake with Reese's Pieces.

Really great, moist cake. Not too strong that it makes you thirsty and not too sweet. Thank you Brenda.

WOW! Wonderful & easy! I had doubts about the icing as I tried to spread it and it was Very stiff, like taffy, but when it cooled it was like having a layer of PB fudge on top... excellent. I did make 1 1/2 recipe of icing and it was just right. Will make again, and again, etc.

I used Creamy Peanut Butter instead of Crunchy, and used slightly less than the recipe had called for. My co-workers loved it!

Wow! This is the recipe I remember from childhood- a dense, rich cake with just enough frosting... my sisters and I have looked for this recipe for years and it was worth the wait!
