Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (for frosting)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk (more if needed)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13×18-inch sheet pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool completely in the pan.
  8. In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter and butter until smooth.
  9. Gradually add powdered sugar and milk, mixing until creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  10. Once the cake has cooled, spread the peanut butter frosting evenly over the top. Cut into squares and enjoy!
