Instructions
 

Make the Cake

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Frosting

  • In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. Beat in the vanilla extract.

Assemble

  • Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the peanut butter frosting evenly over the top.
  • Slice and serve.
