PEANUT BUTTER LAYER CAKE WITH PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING

Steps:

• For the cake: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans, and line the bottom of each with a round piece of parchment. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda together onto a piece of parchment or into a large bowl.
• Beat the butter, brown sugar, peanut butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and creamy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the side of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low, and add the flour mixture in 3 additions and the milk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just combined.
• Evenly divide the batter among the prepared cake pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for a few minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Invert each onto a cooling rack, and remove the parchment. (The cakes can be stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 1 day.)
• For the buttercream: Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan large enough to hold the heatproof bowl of a stand mixer above the water.
• Whisk together the granulated sugar, egg whites and salt in the stand mixer bowl. Set the bowl above the boiling water, and whisk until the mixture is warm to the touch and the sugar has completely dissolved. Transfer the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat at medium-high speed until cool and the whites hold stiff peaks, about 5 minutes. Beat in 3/4 cup of the peanut butter until smooth. Beat in a couple of chunks of butter at a time, making sure the pieces are incorporated before adding more. Continue beating on medium-high speed until the buttercream thickens into stiff peaks. (The mixture at some point may appear to be very liquidy, but continue to beat.) Beat in the vanilla.
• To assemble: Slice each cake in half, for a total of 4 cake rounds. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup peanut butter on 3 of the rounds, dividing evenly. Put 1 round, peanut butter-side up, on a cake stand or serving platter, and spread about 3/4 cup of the buttercream on top, leaving about a 1/2-inch border all around. Repeat with 2 more layers of peanut-buttered cake and buttercream. Place the last cake round (without the peanut butter) on top. Frost the outside of the cake with the remaining buttercream. Refrigerate the cake until it sets up (this makes it possible to cut neat slices), at least 4 hours up to overnight. Sprinkle the top with peanut brittle before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

PARTY-TRICK PEANUT BUTTER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking dish and line the bottom with parchment.

In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the egg, vanilla, buttermilk, oil, water, and peanut butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Pour into the baking dish.

THE BEST PEANUT BUTTER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F (180C or 160C fan-forced).
• Line the bottom of two 8-inch round cake pans with baking paper. Lightly grease and flour the sides. Be sure that the sides of the pans are at least 2 inches (5 cm). See recipe notes for pan size options.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat together the oil, light brown sugar and peanut butter in a very large bowl.
• Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract. Stop mixing once you no longer see pieces of egg.
• Using a hand-held metal whisk, whisk in the sour cream.
• Whisk in about 1/2 of the flour mixture (again, whisking by hand).
• Carefully whisk in the milk.
• Whisk in the rest of the flour mixture until combined. Stop mixing once combined.
• Divide the batter evenly between the 2 prepared pan. Bake both on the middle rack of the oven for about 28-33 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean and you see the edges starting to pull away from the pan.
• Cool the cakes fully.
• In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter until smooth.
• Mix in the cream cheese, followed by the peanut butter.
• Starting with the mixer on a low speed, beat in about 2 cups of powdered sugar.
• Mix in the rest of the powdered sugar about 1/2 cup at a time until the desired sweetness is reached. If the frosting seems too thick, beat in 1-2 tablespoons of cream, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Ensure the cake layers are fully cooled before assembling the cake.
• If the tops of your cakes are domed, use a serrated knife to gently saw off the rounded tops.
• Place 1 cake layer bottom side up on the plate or cake stand that you plan to serve it on.
• Frost the top with about 1/3 of the frosting.
• Place the second cake layer on top, with the bottom facing up.
• Frost a thin layer of frosting around the sides to seal in any crumbs. Optionally, place the cake in the fridge for 20-30 minutes for the frosting to firm up.
• Frost the sides and top with swirls of peanut butter frosting. Optionally, top the cake with peanut butter cups.
