Peanut Butter Texas Sheet Cake Recipe 385

PEANUT BUTTER TEXAS SHEET CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Generously spray a 12x18-inch sheet pan with baking spray OR rub with shortening then add a tablespoon of flour and tilt the pan in all directions to coat the shortening with flour.
• Combine water, butter and peanut butter in a medium-large, microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high power for 2-2½ minutes or until the butter is melted. Add the sugar and vanilla, then whisk until well combined. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
• Add the eggs and whisk until smooth then add the baking soda and salt. Whisk until well combined.
• Add the flour, whisking vigorously until lump-free then add the buttermilk and stir until well combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth to an even layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center, comes out clean and the top feels firm and springs back lightly when touched.
• Cool for 20 minutes then top with the icing. Spread the icing with a knife to cover the surface. If desired, swirl the icing with the back of a small spoon for a pretty presentation. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Combine the butter, dark brown sugar and peanut butter in a medium-large microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high power for 1 minute. Whisk well then return to the microwave for another minute.
• Add 4 tablespoons of the buttermilk (or half and half or milk) and vanilla. Whisk well to combine. Add 3½ cups of powdered sugar and whisk until smooth. You're looking for a fairly thick but still pourable icing. If too thick, add a bit more buttermilk. If too thin, add a little more powdered sugar and stir again until nice and smooth.
