Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed. This should take approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the peanut butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Once cooled, frost with additional peanut butter frosting or dust with powdered sugar for extra flavor and presentation.
- Slice into 10 servings and serve at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Room Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients, especially eggs and buttermilk, are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cake texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the batter just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender and prevent a tough texture.
- Check for Doneness: Use the toothpick test—it should come out with just a few moist crumbs, not completely clean or wet.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent breaking.
- Storage Tip: For maximum freshness, store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature and consume within 3 days.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with warm chocolate sauce.
