Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat while stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter until fully melted and smooth.

Step 5

Pour the hot peanut butter mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the batter and stir until smooth.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In another saucepan, combine the butter, peanut butter, and milk. Heat over medium until the mixture is smooth and just begins to simmer.

Step 10

Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 11

Once the cake is baked and cooled slightly (about 10 minutes), pour the warm frosting over the top and spread evenly.

Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy this classic, rich peanut butter sheet cake!
