  • Cream Butter, Sugar, and Eggs:
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Blend in the peanut butter until smooth.
  • Combine and Fold:

Notes

Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the cake soft and tender.
For a more intense peanut butter flavor, add ¼ cup of crushed Nutter Butter cookies to the batter.
This cake pairs perfectly with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
