Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 4 units Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Creamy peanut butter for glaze
• 2 tablespoons Milk for glaze
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract for glaze

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and 1 cup of peanut butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the 3/4 cup of milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. If needed, add more milk 1 teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 10

Once the pound cake is completely cool, drizzle the peanut butter glaze over the top. Let it set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
