Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 units large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups creamy peanut butter
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk (as needed)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring the batter. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

Step 6

Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.

Step 8

To make the peanut butter frosting, beat the softened butter and peanut butter in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 9

Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency.

Step 10

Mix in the vanilla extract and beat for another 1-2 minutes until fully incorporated.

Step 11

Spread the peanut butter frosting evenly over the cooled chocolate cake.

Step 12

Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy!
