Do you have a peanut butter lover in the family? I do. My step-dad loves everything peanut butter and this is his favorite cake. And I love the frosting so much I also use it with banana cake and chocolate cake…
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup peanut butter
2 cups brown sugar
6 eggs
3/4 cup soy or almond milk
1 1/2 cups softened dairy free margarine
2 tsp. vanilla
1 jar grape jelly
Grease and flour 2 9-in. round cake pans. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. In large bowl, mix peanut butter, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time. Add milk and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness. Cool. Spread jelly between stacked layers, then top with peanut butter frosting.

1/4 cup dairy free margarine
2 cups confectioner’s sugar
