  • 3/4 cup (210g) peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (115g) sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups (325g) all purpose flour
  • 2 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water
  • 2 cups (448g) salted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups (350g) peanut butter
  • 9 cups (1035g) powdered sugar
  • 6–7 tbsp (90-105ml) water or milk
  • 10 oz peanut butter chips

  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Add sour cream and vanilla next, then add the eggs one at a time.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients into your wet mixture while alternating with milk and water.
  4. Divide your batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for about 23 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Let your cakes cool in their pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them onto wire racks.
  6. Prepare the frosting by beating together salted butter and peanut butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar along with water or milk until smooth.
  7. Assemble your cake by placing one layer on a serving platter and spreading frosting over the top before adding the second layer. Continue frosting the sides and top.
  8. Decorate with peanut butter chips and whipped cream if desired.
