PEANUT BUTTER CARAMEL SAUCE



Peanut Butter Caramel Sauce image

This is such a great sauce! Good on ice cream, pound cake, as a glaze, over bananas, just anything! Sauce will keep for a week or longer, in the refrigerator. To serve, warm the sauce and drizzle over the dessert. I have kept it longer than a week, in the fridge, if it lasted that long. I have also used chunky peanut butter. Just use what you have in the pantry.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter to come together smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This peanut butter caramel pound cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of peanut butter and caramel is a classic, and the pound cake is moist and tender. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
