Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar- lightly packed
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 ¼ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 ¼ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Marshmallow Frosting:

  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Topping:

  • 1/4 cup honey roasted peanuts coarsely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. and prepare a 9×13 baking pan by spraying generously with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a paddle attachment, cream the peanut butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
  • Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and ad in the milk, vanilla, eggs, and oil, and mix until well combined.
  • Sift in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix until there are no dry spots remaining.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and frost immediately.

MARSHMALLOW FROSTING:

  • About 5 minutes before the cake is scheduled to be removed from the oven start to make the frosting.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk and butter and heat over medium-high, stirring continuously.
  • When sugar is dissolved, add the peanut butter, marshmallows and vanilla. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated over very low heat.
  • Pour warm frosting mixture over the hot Peanut Butter Cake and spread around to cover fully. Sprinkle with honey roasted peanuts immediately while frosting is still tacky.
  • Allow to cool completely before serving.
