Cake Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Frosting
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread the peanut butter frosting evenly over the top using a spatula.
