Well, my oldest son is about to turn 9. While making birthday plans, he opted for a larger present this year sans party! I am excited and so is he (getting a iTouch). I know, I know. That is what happens while your daddy is deployed!
In planning for his birthday dinner and cake, he decided on a peanut butter ice cream cake with Reese's peanut butter ice cream. Too rich? I think not!
Here is the recipe for the Double Peanut Butter Cake.
Thanks to tasteofhome.com for this amazing recipe!
Ingredients
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
FROSTING:
1/3 cup chunky peanut butter
3 tablespoons butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup milk
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
In a bowl, cream peanut butter, butter and sugar. Add eggs; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add alternately with milk to creamed mixture. Mix well. Pour into a greased 9 in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. For frosting, cream peanut butter and butter. Add sugar, milk and vanilla; mix until smooth. Frost cake. Yield: 9 servings.
My substitutions: I am going to use this recipe for chocolate frosting.
I sure love a great homemade birthday cake!
