1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup whipping cream

  • In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; stir in brown sugar. Heat to boiling; boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
  • In chilled medium bowl, beat whipping cream on high speed until soft peaks form; set aside. In another medium bowl, beat 1/2 cup peanut butter and the brown sugar mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add whipped cream to peanut butter mixture; beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Split each cake layer horizontally to make 2 layers. Fill each layer with about 2/3 cup peanut butter mixture to within 1/2 inch of edge. Frost side and top of cake with frosting. Press peanuts onto frosting on side of cake. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • When measuring flour, spoon it lightly into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Do not scoop the flour directly from the bag, as this will pack it down and result in too much flour in your recipe.
  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start baking. This will help it cream together with the sugar more easily and result in a lighter, fluffier cake.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Peanut Butter Silk Cake is a delicious and decadent cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, fluffy texture and rich peanut butter flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this Peanut Butter Silk Cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
