Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Jif Creamy Peanut Butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Packed brown sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cups Jif Natural Peanut Butter (for frosting)
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for frosting)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, Jif creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the whole milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the frosting, beat together the powdered sugar, Jif natural peanut butter, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 10

Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of frosting on top of the first cake layer. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.

Step 11

Slice, serve, and enjoy the rich, peanut buttery delight!
