Peanut Butter Cake



Ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter - the recipe called for creamy, I used crunchy
1/2 cup butter
4 eggs
2/3 cup water
Butter recipe cake mix
Step 1:

Cream the peanut butter and butter together till it's creamy.
Step 2:
Add the eggs, one at a tiume, mixing them it thoroughly with the butter mix.
Step 3:
Add flour and water alternatingly and mix till it's nice and creamy.
Step 4:
Pour into a 9 inch round springform pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 45-55 minutes. Check after 45 minutes to see if the cake is cooked through in the middle. If not, leave it in the oven for another 10 minutes.
Step 5:
Let the cake cool on a wire rack.
Preparing the frosting:
Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
4 cups confectioner's sugar
Heavy whipping cream
Cream the peanut butter and butter together till frothy. Add the sugar one cup at a time and mix it in well. Add a bit of whipping cream, just enough to make the frosting easy to spread.
Spread the frosting over the top of the cake. I added a bit of kahlua chocolate sauce and swirled it into the frosting.
