If you’re a peanut butter lover or your loved one is a peanut butter fanatic, I’ve got you covered!
Peanut butter cake with chopped peanut butter cups and peanut butter frosting! Hello peanut butter fix!
This cake is everything you’re looking in a peanut butter cake. It’s light, moist with a small crumb and here and there you get bits of chopped peanut butter cups.

The peanut butter frosting is literary the icing on the cake. It’s creamy, silky and additive! I highly recommend using heavy cream instead of milk for the best frosting ever!

peanut butter cake peanut butter frostingJust look at that slice and tell me you don’t want to grab a fork and take a few bites. Don’t worry, I don’t blame you at all. I had to restrain myself from digging in before I finished taking the pictures, but I have to say I wiped clean the frosting bowl and spatula. It’s one of the best peanut butter frosting I’ve ever tasted.

Now, you’ll have to excuse my lack of decorating skills, I promise next time I’ll do a better job, that if I don’t actually eat the cake before decorating it.

This cake will make even the pickiest eater into a peanut butter lover! It’s peanut-butter-deliciousness in every bite!

        Hi Deborah,

        Yes, you can leave the peanut butter cups out. The only difference is the lack of chocolate touch. It will be just peanut butter

    My dear Roxanna… you continue to take care of me and my PB addiction. Fabulous in every way! Though, no… it’s not a fork I want to grab. It’s the rest of that beautiful cake!
