IRRESISTIBLE PEANUT BUTTER TANDY KAKES

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the 2nd level mark (just above center) and preheat your oven to 350ºF.
• Coat a 15" x 10" x 1" jelly roll pan with a flour-based baking spray. Set to the side.
• In a medium-size mixing bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set to the side.
• Using your hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until fully combined.
• Switching the mixing speed to low, alternate between adding the milk with the whisked dry mixture until just combined. Do not over mix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, giving it a few light taps to get out any air bubbles before placing it in the oven.
• Bake for 28-30 minutes at 350ºF.
• Remove from the oven and place on a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
• Using a spatula or offset spatula, spread the peanut butter evenly over the top of the cake.
• In a medium-sized bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (optional) in the microwave in 45 - 60 second increments, stirring each time, until completely melted and smooth.
• Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the peanut butter, then spread evenly over the top using a spatula or offset spatula.

• Immediately after removing from oven spread the 1 1/3 cup of peanut butter over hot cake. (I don't actually measure the peanut butter, I just use enough to give the cake a nice even layer.) Put aside and let cool. If I'm in a hurry I put it in the fridge to speed things up.
