Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and peanut butter together until smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Step 4
Gradually add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the peanut butter mixture, beating until the mixture is light and well combined.
Step 5
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
On low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients in three additions and the milk in two additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it into an even layer.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Frost and decorate the cake as desired, or serve it as is for a rich and flavorful treat.
