How To Make peanut butter layer cake

1
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray 3 (9 inch) round cake pans with nonstick baking spray with flour. Line bottoms of pans with parchment paper; spray with nonstick baking spray with flour. Set aside. For cake: In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy, 3-4 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape sides of bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In another medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, milk, and vanilla. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture to butter mixture in thirds, alternating with sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat until combined. Divide batter evenly among prepared pans. Tap pans on counter twice to remove air bubbles. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, approximately 25 minutes. Let cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.

For frosting: In a large bowl, beat peanut butter and powdered sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until combined. Add cream and salt, beating until mixture begins to thicken. Increase speed to high; beat until thickened. Spread frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. Garnish with peanuts, if desired.
