Peanut Butter Cake with Glaze and PB Cream Cheese Frosting

This is the ultimate dessert for the peanut butter lover in your life. It starts with a dense peanut butter sheet cake, gets covered in a sweet peanut butter glaze and is smothered in the creamiest peanut butter frosting you’ll ever make. Try out this decadent and delicious cake that is sure to please.

I’ve been really into making cakes lately and seeing how I can transform a box cake mix in the something special. A couple recipes ago, I figured out that using sour cream in a cake, instead of the oil and water a lot of mixes call for, adds a really great denseness and creaminess to any cake so I’ve been using that for a lot of the desserts I’ve been making including this peanut butter cake that is so decadent and delicious, yet simple to make.

What you need: ( for one cake, the glaze and frosting)

⁃ White cake mix … 1 box

⁃ Peanut butter … 1 cup

⁃ Sour cream … 1/2 cup

⁃ Cream cheese … 1 package

⁃ Powdered Sugar … 1 1/2cup

⁃ Sweetened Condensed Milk … 1 can

⁃ Butter … 2 sticks

⁃ Eggs … 2

⁃ Milk … 1 cup

How to make the cake:

1. Pre heat oven to 350

2. Melt one stick of butter in the microwave

3. Combine cake mix, milk, eggs, sour cream, 1/2 cup peanut butter and melted butter until thoroughly combined.

4. Grease a glass baking pan with butter and pour in cake batter.

5. Cook until golden about 25 minutes.

6. Let sit for about 10 minutes and use a fork to make holes over the whole cake.

7. Make the glaze and pour over the cake so it soaks in.

To make the glaze:

1. This part is simple but adds so much to the cake by making it really moist.

2. Combine 1/4 cup of peanut butter with 1 can of condensed milk in a microwave safe container and heat in 25 second increments mixing until it’s all blended.

3. You will need 2/3 of this to pour over the cake and the other 1/3 for the frosting.

4. Pour over the poked cake.
