Almost everyone’s had Texas Sheet Cake before, right? I first tried Chocolate Buttermilk Sheet Cake when I was a kid and fell in love with the fudgy texture covered with melty frosting.
We’re serious peanut butter lovers at this house, so I decided I needed to figure out a version of sheet cake that would deliver that swoon-worthy fudgy moist texture along with serious peanut flavor.
We love our easy Peanut Butter Cake around here but I was in the mood for something more like a traditional Texas Sheet Cake but with peanut butter.
Never be satisfied with just some peanut butter when you could have all the peanut butter. I also put creamy peanut butter into the soft frosting that goes on top of this cake.
My family went nuts over Texas Sheet Cake with Peanut Butter (forgive the pun) and I can’t wait for you to try it.
Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 c softened butter
1 c water
1/2 c creamy peanut butter
FROSTING
3 c confectioners’ sugar
1/2 c creamy peanut butter
1/2 c softened butter
2+ tbsp milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease 9 X 13 baking pan and set aside.
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and peanut butter until well incorporated. Add eggs, cake mix, and water and beat on medium for two minutes. Pour into greased baking dish and bake for 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
Frosting: Cream the butter and peanut butter until well incorporated. Add confectioners’ sugar, extract, salt, and 2 tablespoons of milk and continue to mix until the frosting is nice and fluffy. You may need an additional tablespoon (or more) of milk if the frosting is too thick.
