Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Stir in the boiling water; the batter will be thin.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. For the frosting, beat together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter until smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  9. Spread frosting between the layers and over the top of the cooled cakes.
  10. Slice and enjoy!
