Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1.5 cups of granulated sugar, 2 tsp of baking powder, and 0.5 tsp of salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Peanut Butter

    In another bowl, beat together 0.5 cups of unsalted butter and 0.5 cups of peanut butter with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Milk

    Add the 3 eggs, 1 cup of milk, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

  6. 6

    Pour Batter into Pans

    Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.

  7. 7

    Bake the Cakes

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Cool the Cakes

    Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
