1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 cup water
1/4 cup oil
3 eggs
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 chp chopped peanuts

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour 13 x 9 inch pan. In large bowl, mix cake mix, brown sugar, and peanut butter at low speed til crumbly. Reserve 1/2 cu peanut butter mixture; set aside. To remaining peanut butter mixture, add water, oil, and eggs. Mix at low speed til moistened; beat 2 minutes at highest speed.

Tips:

  • Use a large bowl to mix the ingredients, as the batter will be thick and sticky.
  • Make sure the butter and peanut butter are at room temperature before mixing, as this will help them to cream together smoothly.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven, as this will help it to rise evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it, as this will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have a cake pan with a removable bottom, you can use a regular cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
  • To make the peanut butter frosting, simply beat together the peanut butter, butter, confectioners' sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.
  • You can decorate the cake with additional peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, or chopped peanuts.
