Sheri's Notes:

This was one my mom would make for my sister's birthday. It has a fudgy candy-like frosting on top.

Comments from the Test Kitchen: Kitchen Crew

I remember terrific peanut butter cakes from my childhood...and this one ranks right up there with them!

 

Directions

1
Cream peanut butter, shortening and sugar.
2
Add eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
3
Alternate sifted flour with baking powder and milk
4
Pour into greased 9x13 pan. (I typically spray with Pam)
Bake at 350 degrees until done (start testing with toothpick at 25 min)
5
FROSTING:
Cook milk and sugar to soft ball stage; add vanilla; add peanut butter; stir to spreading consistency. Beat until it starts to lose its gloss.
If too thick, add a little milk 1 T. at a time. If too thin, add peanut butter.
Spread on cooled cake.
(this is a fudge type frosting and is as thick as the picture shows)

Hope you like it. Our family loved the hard candy frosting vs the typical soft frosting.
