10. Once the cake is done and while it’s still warm, pour the frosting over the cake and spread it out evenly. Allow the cake to cool, letting the frosting set.
– For a slightly healthier version, you can swap half of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour. It’ll add a nutty flavor that pairs well with the peanut butter.
– Not a fan of super sweet? Reduce the sugar in the cake batter by 1/4 cup to dial down the sweetness a hair.
– To get that flawless cake-to-frosting ratio, make sure your cake is warm when you spread the frosting. It’ll glide right on and seep into every crevice for the ultimate peanut butter experience.
– For a little crunch, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top of the frosting before it sets.
– If you happen to have leftovers, though I doubt you will, this cake keeps beautifully in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, making it perfect for meal prepping dessert for the week (if you’re into that sort of thing).
– Have an allergy in the family? Swap out the peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for an equally delicious but allergy-friendly option!
